What exactly is a "degree candidate"?

<p>I just finished an online General Psychology course at Montgomery College and I'm looking at the "College Credit" section of the Common App (page 2). They have a checkbox for "degree candidate," but I'm not sure if I should check it or not. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?</p>

<p>I think that means you are seeking a bachelors/associate/other degree. If you just took that one class, I wouldn't check degree candidate.</p>
