Actually, we’re not; but it’s a good question, and one that we’re asked quite frequently!

In the fall of 1968, the college planning committee extended an invitation to the public to suggest names for the Island’s new community college. Samuel Johannes Holland, who conducted the first survey of Prince Edward Island in 1764 to 1766, was suggested. Holland was a highly-esteemed surveyor with strong ties to Prince Edward Island. Holland was dedicated to his profession, the advancement of technology, and to education. He was commissioned by the British government to survey and map a significant portion of the lands on the eastern seaboard of North America.

From Ontario and Quebec and all down the east coast as far as Virginia, in the United States, there are communities, schools, and parks named after Samuel Holland; but few people know of his strong connection to Prince Edward Island.

C O L L E G E

Life @ Holland College At Holland College, we believe that you will get the most out of your college experience if you have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities outside of class. The friendly, fun-loving staff of Student Services works hard throughout the year to ensure that students have the opportunity to socialize... and, of course, to have fun! For students who come from out of town, Student Services staff can help them get settled in to their new surroundings, and can provide information regarding medical centres, health insurance, and accommodations in the area. They can even tell you where to get the best pizzas! Chances are, no matter how many questions you have, someone in Student Services can answer them all.

Holland Hurricanes Holland Hurricanes sports teams provide students with the opportunity to participate in organized sports. Our varsity teams represent Holland College on the regional and national level, while our club teams offer students the opportunity to participate in a more recreational way.

Clubs

Residence Information

As a Holland College student, you can participate in a wide variety of activities both on and off campus. During Orientation Days at the beginning of the school year, you will be asked to identify clubs that you may be interested in. If there are enough like-minded students, Student Services will help set up a club for you.

Holland College Welshmen Community Band Slemon Park Cadets in the Police Science (Cadet), Correctional Officer (March intake) and Conservation Enforcement programs at the Atlantic Police Academy in Slemon Park, Summerside, are required to live in the APA’s residence in single person rooms for the duration of their training, excluding the on-the-job training component of the program.

The Holland College Welshmen Community Band has more than 52 members from all walks of life. The band gives students who play a musical instrument the opportunity to pursue their musical interests. The band’s director, Alan Dowling, is a well-known and respected alumnus of the internationally renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston. The band performs in concerts throughout the school year, at some of the Holland Hurricanes football games, and at some graduation ceremonies.

Off-Campus

Glendenning Hall Leaving home for the first time can be an intimidating experience – for you, and for your parents! Living in residence is a great way to transition from home. Glendenning Hall is a 186-bed apartment-style residence located on the college’s Prince of Wales Campus. The residence is made up of one, two, and three-bedroom furnished units, each with its own kitchenette.

Students can only be accepted for Glendenning Hall after they have been accepted into the college by the Admissions Office, and are encouraged to apply for a room when they submit their application form for their program. Students are encouraged to find their own roommates whenever possible; but if they cannot, applicants will be matched as closely as possible based on their profiles (age, gender, program of study, hobbies, etc.).

Student Services maintains lists of offcampus accommodations for Charlottetown, Georgetown, Summerside, O’Leary, Tignish, and Alberton. These lists include apartments, rooms with kitchen privileges, and “room and board” arrangements, which means that the landlord is offering a space in their home and at the same time they provide one, two or three meals per day. You will find links to these lists on the Holland College website.

Some of Glendenning Hall’s features include:

• • • • • • •

Degree Pathways Accreditation

A Great Blend of College and University!

Can’t decide between college and university?

Why not choose both! Degree pathways such as articulation agreements and transfer credits give you the opportunity to begin your studies at one institution and finish at another. For example, you may decide to obtain a diploma from Holland College and then further your studies at a university. Or you may have begun your studies in university, and be interested in continuing your education at Holland College.

If you’re interested in pursuing your studies somewhere else, Holland College has approximately 140 agreements with universities and colleges across Canada, the U.S., and overseas. There are a variety of joint applied degree programs, as well as 2+2 programs, which mean that you can earn your diploma at Holland College and then earn your university degree in as little as two additional years.

Apprenticeship Training Apprenticeship training begins after the pre-apprentice program is completed and you are working full time with a suitable employer. The Apprenticeship Section of the PEI Department of Innovation and Advanced Learning has training programs in many trade areas such as automotive service technician, electrician, machinist, cook, and plumber. These apprenticeship programs are a combination of on-thejob and in-school technical training and lead to interprovincial certification under the national Red Seal program. Holland College provides apprenticeship training at the Summerside Waterfront Campus, The Culinary Institute of Canada and the Georgetown Centre, depending on the trade.

Note: For more information about apprenticeship training in PEI, visit apprenticeship.pe.ca. This information pertains to PEI only. For apprenticeship information in other provinces, please contact the Apprenticeship branch in that province.

Accredited programs are recognized across Canada as having met national academic standards for that field of study. Many Holland College programs are accredited, which means that the credential that you earn will be recognized across the country.

Distance Education Programs that offer a distance education option give students who cannot attend classes on campus the opportunity to continue their education via the Internet or off-site. This option is attractive to people who cannot relocate to attend classes, or who are working full time but would still like to upgrade their skills.

Provincial Red Seal Apprentices who complete the designated programs will be eligible to challenge for the Interprovincial Red Seal, which is recognized across Canada. The Red Seal Program allows qualified trades people to practice their trade in any province or territory in Canada. Through the program, certified journeypersons are able to obtain a Red Seal endorsement on their Certificate of Qualification by successfully completing, where applicable, an interprovincial standards examination.

The program encourages standardization of provincial and territorial apprenticeship training and certification programs.
