Integrated Technology Services (ITS) provides infrastructure and IT support to the entire college community.

We have staff on the Prince of Wales Campus, the Summerside Waterfront Campus and in the Tourism and Culinary Centre to provide technology services to college locations across PEI.

From our centralized service desk in the Centre for Applied Sciences and Technology on the Prince of Wales Campus, our staff provide the infrastructure and support for computing services, audiovisual, administrative systems, and web development.

Staff and students can reset their Holland College password from anywhere with Internet access, provided they have registered alternate contact information (cell phone number and/or email address) on Microsoft’s "Self-Service Password Reset" (SSPR) website.
