I can tell you. First of all, when you say "four years in college", you should be an undergraduate. Secondly, you should know whether you are a normal student or not. If you are a normal student, you should take 14 elective credits. Under normal circumstances, an elective course is 2 points, that is to say, it is enough for you to take seven courses in four years in college. If you are not a normal student, you only need to take 12, which is 6 courses.

As for whether you can choose one course for the first time, there should be no problem, because Handan University has two elective courses in one academic year, and you can apply for two courses at most each time, so it is no problem to apply for one course for the first time! Don't worry!
