The College was founded in 1885 as the New Paltz Normal and Training School with an Academic Department in a building on Huguenot Street lent to New York State by the New Paltz Academy. The New Paltz Academy was founded in 1833 as a boarding and day school for boys and girls as an alternative to the public grade school.
[edit] History
In 1885, the Normal School was founded in a new building belonging to the New Paltz Academy following the Academy's destruction by fire in 1884. It was granted the ability to award baccalaureate degrees in 1942, when it was renamed the State Teachers College at New Paltz. A few years later, in 1947, a graduate program was established. When the State University of New York was established by legislative act in 1948, the Teachers College at New Paltz was one of 30 colleges associated under SUNY's umbrella.

[edit] Student Government
The student government at SUNY New Paltz consists primarily of the Student Association, which is the only independently elected and funded student representation. It is elected to represent students living both on and off campus.
Another body which self-refers as a student government at SUNY New Paltz is the Residence Hall Student Association, or RHSA. RHSA is elected to represent students living in the Residence Halls. Because they recieve their funding from Campus Auxiliary Services, their status as a student government is controversial.
