the Writing Intensive requirement
Domestic and Global Diversity requirements
Health-Promotion and Health-Related Physical Activity requirements
any foreign language requirement
any Cognate, prerequisite, or major specific course requirement

Notes:

ENG 111 and 112 satisfy 2 of the 4 WI courses;
- The Writing Across the Curriculum committee does not recommend taking more than 2 WI courses before transferring, so you don't need worry about the rest of the requirement until at ECU.
HIS 111, 112, 131, & 132 taken at a NCCCS after Fall 2018 count as humanities credits at ECU.
