History 

It was built up in 1976 from the merger of Richmond College (opened in 1965) and Staten Island Community College (opened 1956). Richmond College had been undermined with conclusion in light of New York City's monetary emergency, while the more seasoned school, as a result of its status as a junior college, got state support. The merger was especially coherent since the junior college offered two-year degrees, while Richmond College was an "upper divisional" school (the third in the country) that offered degrees to those in their third and fourth years of educating. 

The College of Staten Island has been situated on the grounds of the previous Willowbrook State School subsequent to 1993. It is the biggest grounds, as far as physical size, in New York City. Prior to the migration to Willowbrook, the school had a split grounds, situated at the previous Staten Island Community College (in Sunnyside, on Todt Hill; the grounds now houses the Michael J. Petrides School) and Richmond College (in St. George). 

The primary president of the school, Dr. Edmond Volpe, an American writing researcher, resigned in 1994, in the wake of having effectively taken care of the merger of the two schools and the unification of the two grounds. He was succeeded by Dr. Marlene Springer, as the second president of the school, an English and American writing researcher, under whose initiative the College enhanced scholarly principles, presented two doctoral projects and a few expert's projects, raised the level of the personnel, included exploration organizations, and presented an Honors College, the Verrazano School, and the CSI High School for International Studies. 

Springer resigned in August 2007 and was succeeded by Tomás D. Spirits, who holds a B.A. in history from SUNY, New Paltz, and earned his M.S. furthermore, Ph.D. in instructive organization and approach concentrates on from SUNY, Albany, as the third president of the school. He orchestrated a free transport from the Staten Island ship to the Willowbrook grounds. Following quite a while of consistent clash with the personnel, on March 22, 2012, the Faculty Senate of the College passed a movement of "no certainty" in Morales and his Provost. This was toppled on a procedural issue and examinations in the resulting April 19 meeting turned out to be so "impeded" that the measure didn't go to a vote once more. Not exactly a month later, on May 10, 2012, Morales reported that he would be leaving the College of Staten Island to wind up president of California State University at San Bernardino. Spirits' takeoff did not permit adequate time to embrace a quest for his substitution, so the CUNY Board of Trustees named the Provost, Dr. William J. Fritz, break President for a time of up to two years. Dr. Fritz was in this way named as President by the CUNY Board of Trustees without an inquiry having been directed, compelling May 6, 2014. On June 28, 2012, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education re-authorize the College however required that the College present an observing report by December 1, 2013 tending to issues relating to general training (Standard 12) and evaluation of understudy learning (Standard 14). This Monitoring Report was submitted before the due date and brought about the full reaccreditation of the College on all Standards
