  • The professional advisors in the Holland Academic Success Center work with most incoming freshmen to help plan their academic careers, from course selection to graduation requirements.

To schedule an advising appointment, please call the Holland Academic Success Center at 402-375-7496 or email [email protected].

  • Our academic coaching services are available for all students. We can help you take ownership of your academic success and work with you to focus on your goals and help identify the steps to reach them. Academic coaching does not take the place of your academic advisor.

  • We administer College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests. CLEP tests measure your knowledge in general subject areas taught at many colleges as freshman- or sophomore-level courses. If you take and pass a CLEP test in a subject with a grade of “C” or higher, you may earn college credit without enrolling in the equivalent college course.
