Acquiring Your First Holl Pass

As a first-time student, you need to complete your course registration before you can apply for your Holl Pass. After completing your course registration, our ITS team will activate your Holland College student user account, so that you can access campus services like webmail, and SAM and our college networks/applications. A student user id is required to access our Student Account Management (SAM) system where you can request your Holl Pass. 

IMPORTANT: Although you will have the ability to immediately log into our networks using your Holland College username and password, it will take 6 to 24 hours before you can log into your SAM account.

Visit our ITS page or information on how to access your Holland College network accounts.

Replacement Fee

If your Holl Pass card is no longer in your possession, deactivate it immediately to protect your funds. This can be done online on the Holl Pass site, by phone, or in person during Holl Pass office hours. There is a replacement fee of $20 for all lost or damaged Holl Passes.

Our Holl Passes got a fresh new design! Don't worry, all unexpired Holl Passes with the previous design are still valid. Want the new style? Unexpired Holl Pass replacements are $20. 

Tips on caring for your Holl Pass

Your Holl Pass card is one of the most important pieces of identification you will carry during your time at Holland College. Take good care of it! Here are a few tips that will help you:

  • Do not tamper with your photograph or any information on your Holl Pass card.
  • Keep it away from magnets and computers to avoid interference or damage.
  • Avoid exposure to heat or direct sunlight as this can warp or fade the card.
  • Keep it away from keys or sharp objects that could scratch it. Scratches can make the barcode or magnetic stripe unreadable, and if the text is no longer legible, the card may not be accepted.
  • Remove your card from clothing pockets before washing or drying.
  • Do not bend it, fold, or punch holes in your card - even small cracks can damage the card.
  • Use a protective card holder if the card is attached to a key ring or lanyard.
  • Do not use it to scrape your windshield or other surfaces. 

Check out Samuel’s Campus Store for protective cases, lanyards and retractable keyfobs!

A replacement fee of $20 (LINC students pay $10) is charged for all lost, damaged, and replacement cards.
