Tuition tax receipts

Log in to the UBC Lifelong Learning Student Portal.

 

If the Social Insurance Number field is blank, the institution will not be able to include your T2202 eligible amounts in their report to the CRA for the tax year. You can enter or modify your SIN at any time.

 

T2202 is the Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate, which is used for reporting to the Canada Revenue Agency for income tax purposes.

You can find more information about filing taxes as a student on the CRA website.

A T2202 form will be issued to you, if you meet all the following conditions:

• You were enrolled during the calendar year in a qualifying education program or a specified education program;
• You paid more than $100 in tuition fees;
• You were 16 years of age or older before the end of the year.

You can find more information about filing taxes as a student on the CRA website. 

If you are eligible for a T2202 form, it will be available to download by the CRA deadline of February 28. Eligible individuals will be emailed at their preferred email address indicated in their Lifelong Learning student account when the T2202 is available.

Starting in the 2019 tax year, CRA has required all designated educational institutions in Canada to include the student's Social Insurance Number (SIN) on the T2202. More information on this requirement can be found on the CRA website.

If you are not a resident of Canada for tax purposes or otherwise do not have a Canadian SIN, you do not have to provide us with this information.

A T2202 tax receipt will include all eligible tuition fees paid within the year. Not all courses are eligible for deduction; neither are all fees paid to UBC. In addition, eligible tuition fees are based on the calendar year for which the fees are assessed, not the date on which the fees are paid.

You can find more details about what constitutes an eligible fee, and when you can claim eligible fees, on the CRA website.

The number of part-time or full-time months is calculated based on your enrolment in qualifying courses of a qualified educational program (QEP) or a specified educational program (SEP). The courses must be three consecutive weeks long and meet the minimum hours threshold, as defined by the CRA.

A T4A slip identifies amounts paid during the calendar year for certain types of income from many different sources including self-employed commissions and RESP educational assistance payments, including bursaries or grants.

• Note: We are unable to provide T4A electronically. If you are eligible for a T4A, it will be sent by mail at your preferred address in February.

Individuals who received the StrongerBC future skills grant for courses taken at UBC will receive a copy of their T4A before the end of February.

• Note: T4A reporting is based on the year in which funds are received, not necessarily the year in which the student enrolled in the course.

A T2202 indicates the eligible amounts you have paid in tuition or other fees to an institution. In addition, a T2202 indicates the number of months you were a part-time or full-time student within the year.

A T4A is issued to anyone who received a bursary or grant used to pay tuition. T4A’s are typically issued by the institution providing the bursary or grant.

Note: Our staff are unable to answer tax-related questions or provide tax-related advice. If you have other questions about tuition and enrolment credit, please contact the CRA or consult your tax advisor.
