Judy Genshaft Honors College at USF Sarasota-Manatee: Operational Transition Information

To support college-wide operational efficiency, the Judy Genshaft Honors College will close its Sarasota-Manatee campus office in August 2026, following the conclusion of the 2025–26 academic year. As a result, the college will no longer offer Honors courses or programming at USF Sarasota-Manatee after the summer 2026 semesters and will no longer admit first-time-in-college applicants to the Judy Genshaft Honors College at the campus.

The Judy Genshaft Honors College and USF Sarasota-Manatee are fully committed to helping all current Honors students complete the program within their established timelines.

  • Personalized, one-on-one academic counseling will be available throughout your time in the college.
  • Dedicated office hours will be offered to answer questions and provide additional support.
  • Additional Honors course sections will be available during spring and summer 2026 semesters to give currently enrolled students sufficient opportunities to fulfill their Honors requirements.
