Recognition by a school or college that a student has fulfilled a requirement

quarter hour
3 : a unit of academic credit representing an hour of class (as lecture class) or three hours of laboratory work each week for an academic quarter

If quarter hour is for one hour of lecture class and three hours of laboratory work, then what would be a complete hour for? Four hours of a lecture class or twelve hours of laboratory work?

credit hour
the unit of measuring educational credit usually based on the number of classroom hours per week throughout a term

credit (noun)
8 a : recognition by a school or college that a student has fulfilled a requirement leading to a degree

Does fulfilling the requirement of credits alone (such as attending lectures and doing laboratory work) entitle you to a degree? Don't you need to sit in exams and submit assignments?

Please guide me with the above queries. Thank you.
