In later years, they complete their electives and senior projects. While a cohort structure is maintained in order to foster a sense of community, students from different classes are welcome to take classes out of sequence when desired or necessary.\n\nNote for students using academic catalogs prior to 2019<\/strong>:\u00a0 Because Honors classes are generally seminar-style and writing-intensive, enrollment in the Honors Program automatically satisfies WOU's writing-intensive (6 credits) and Introductory Composition (WR 122\/135, 4 credits) requirements. Because Honors classes typically feature individual or group presentations, participation in Honors also automatically satisfy WOU's COM 111 (3 credits) requirement. Honors students are also exempt from requirements in Health and Physical Education.\n\n
