         h. The column labeled "credits" indicates the quarter credits/semester hours listed for the course. You may not take less than 12 or more than 18 credit hours per semester/term. The column labeled "degree credits" is for the quarter credits/semester hours which are applied toward the degree program (in a number of majors and at a number of schools, ROTC courses don't count toward the degree program). If the course applies toward your degree program, fill in the number of credits in both the "credits" and "degree credits" columns. If a course does not apply toward your degree program, fill in the number of credits in the "credits" column and a zero in the "degree credits" column.
