Starting September 8th of 2026, IMPACTO will offer two variations of English courses, free of charge, to anyone from the Hispanic community who also resides in Alachua County or the Gainesville Area. Courses will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 pm to 8 pm in classrooms on the UF campus. A communicative method will be used that will prioritize speaking the language. Each classroom will have two teachers who are Spanish-speaking and bilingual UF students who will be trained by a professional foreign language teacher. Once a spot has been secured for you in one of our classes, a confirmation email will be sent shortly after to confirm this information. We will also be sending an email containing the specific location of the orientation and classrooms, once confirmed.
If you are interested in taking a class in Fall 2026 please review the syllabi for each of our courses to get an overview and a tentative schedule. If you wish to register for one of our two classes, use the button below. As spots fill up quickly, to guarantee your spot it is crucial you register during the time provided. Please only sign up if you are able to consistently show up throughout the majority of the semester. Students that have attended at least 75% of all classes will receive a Certificate of Participation.
Fall Registration will be open from July 6 – Aug. 21
NOTE: We will also be having an orientation on September 4th in order for students to get acquainted with the attendance requirements, information on where to park and where classes are located, how the classes will be taught, and receive introductions from the instructors for each course level. It's recommended that students attend this orientation as the first week can be stressful on finding a place to park in order to arrive on time for class.
Disclaimer: This event requires parents, guardians, or teachers to be responsible for the care, custody, or control of the minor participants. The University of Florida will not provide supervision.
