  If you're unable to complete your immunizations before arrival, you can reach out to the Holland College Health Clinic at 902-566-9392 or npclinic@hollandcollege.com.

• Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Check:

  • Before attending any practicum or clinical portions of the program, a student must submit a criminal record check and a vulnerable sector check. If the check indicates that a record exists, the student may not be able to complete portions of their program that are required for graduation. Any associated costs are the responsibility of the student.
