A Holland College student complained that they were unfairly denied admission to another program because Holland College failed to consider their current grades when scoring their application. The complainant believed that because their application form stated they were a Holland College student, their grades would be automatically considered. This is not what occurred. Holland College requires applicants to upload all documentation they want to be considered, including relevant Holland College records.
We agreed with the student that the wording of the application form was confusing. To prevent similar confusion, Holland College agreed to amend application forms to state that it is the applicant’s responsibility to provide all applicable Holland College records with their application.
