coursework completed without degree
This is mainly for ex-Ph.D students in arts and humanities in Japan. They often leave their school without obtaining their degree after completing all required coursework. I don't think this is routinely done in English-speaking world and I don't think there is a standard English expression for this. I guess those people are often regarded to be as good as Ph.D holders because there are so many of them, but this is of course up to interpretation.

withdrawing/leaving/quitting (the university) upon earning all required credits/credit hours
I checked around and it looks like a situation whereby the student (usually graduate level) withdraws from the university (for personal reasons, etc.) but has already earned all of his/her required number of credits.

「単位取得退学」というのは、博士課程特有のもので、修士課程には普通はありません。博士課程を修了（＝博士号を取得）するためには、授業を受けて単位を取得し、博士論文の審査を通過する必要があります。しかし、分野にもよりますが、在学中に単位は取得したけれども論文は完成しないまま、大学教員などに就職してしまうことはよくあります。こういう場合には、「論文審査さえ通過すれば博士号を取得」という立場になり、いわば、博士論文を提出する権利を得たまま学籍は抜けるということになります。これを、「単位取得退学」といいます。
つまり、
「単位取得退学」＝近い将来に博士号をとれる可能性がある中退のことです。
