Overview of the Geneseo Website

The Geneseo website has more than 7,000 pages, and is visited by nearly a million users yearly. It's divided into over 150 "subsites," each containing several pages. Every office and department has its own subsite, with more for specific groups or topics.

Who Manages the Website?

Every subsite has a primary editor responsible for managing and updating its pages. Many subsites have additional editors. Students can be editors with the permission of an employee.

The Geneseo web director oversees all pages of the Geneseo website, including their design, content, and functionality. Staff in the Office of College Communications & Marketing review every page edit for grammatical errors, broken links, and layout or accessibility issues and may make changes as warranted.

CIT staff are responsible for web development, hosting, and website administration. The digital accessibility analyst in CIT helps ensure that web content is accessible to all users. CIT’s student web assistants can provide in-person training and assistance in editing pages. Submit a request for help.

How to Get Edit Access

1. Visit any page of the Geneseo website. Click the "log in" link at the bottom of the page. Log in with your Geneseo user ID. That will get you in the system as a web user.

2. Register for and complete the web accessibility course (it will take 45-60 minutes).

3. Log out of the Geneseo website at the bottom and then log back in again.
