While the L.I.V.E.S. Program is a university-based program, students will be admitted to the SUNY Geneseo/Arc GLOW L.I.V.E.S. Program and not SUNY Geneseo.
The SUNY Geneseo L.I.V.E.S. Program, in collaboration with the Arc GLOW, will seek to accept new students each year, who are typically age 18 or older at the start of their program, who are eligible for OPWDD (Office for Persons with Developmental Disabilities) services.
All interested parties must complete the application process. All potential applicants must submit the completed student and parent application.
