T2202 & T4A

The Tuition and Enrolment Certificate (T2202) is a tuition tax receipt issued to all students who were registered during the tax (calendar) year. It shows the amount of eligible tuition fees that can be reported on your income taxes, as well as the number of eligible full-time and/or part-time months.

T2202s are created based on the tax/calendar year (January to December), not the academic year (September to August). For example, your T2202 for 2023 will only include the following semesters if you registered and paid: Winter 2023, Summer 2023, Fall 2023. Winter 2024, Summer 2024 and Fall 2024 would be included on your 2024 T2202 to be released in February 2025.

The T2202 for the previous tax year will be available in late February and can be accessed through WebAdvisor. The University will not mail paper copies of the form.

After receiving the notification email that your T2202 is available online, log in to WebAdvisor and click on the box called "Tax Information". The tax years will display only for the years for which a T2202 slip is available. No document will be produced if total eligible fees paid are less than $100 for the tax year. The PDF will appear on the screen for downloading/printing.

The T2202 will only be accessible if you still have WebAdvisor access. WebAdvisor access is available for approximately one year after graduation or last registration. If your account is still active but you are having issues logging into WebAdvisor (i.e., your password is not working, issues with your multi-factor authentication), please contact the CCS Help Centre.

If you no longer have access to WebAdvisor, you must request T2202 forms from Enrolment Services. You can make this request in person at Enrolment Services (University Centre, Level 3), by email to es@uoguelph.ca, or by mail to Enrolment Services, UC Level 3, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, N1G 2W1. The request must include your name, University of Guelph student ID number, the tax year(s) required, and your signature (a scanned

signature for requests by email). For further information, please call (519) 824-4120 ext. 58731 or email es@uoguelph.ca.

Educational institutions report total eligible tuition fees paid on T2202 forms, rather than total tuition fees assessed. Not all compulsory fees are eligible for inclusion.

The T2202 does NOT include residence or meal plan charges. For more information about residence fees, please review the Student Housing Services website. Only payments toward eligible tuition and fees will be included on the T2202.

If a payment is made after the original T2202 is issued, we can file an amendment to reflect the payments received up to the maximum eligible amount. Please email accquest@uoguelph.ca to notify us of the payments and request a carry forward slip.

Names on the T2202 form are limited to 12 characters for the first and middle names, and 20 characters for last names; therefore, your name may be truncated for T2202 purposes. This will not affect your ability to use this document.

You can submit the T2202 as received, even if your address is incorrect. If your address has changed, you do not need to request an amendment. This will not affect your ability to use this document.

Per the Income Tax Act, you may not combine receipts from multiple institutions to meet the minimum eligible fees. You must have paid the minimum eligible amount to each institution to obtain the respective T2202s.

When the T2202 is first released, it reflects your student account as of the date the slip was created. If you have updated your SIN after that time, your T2202 will update with your SIN and be available for download on WebAdvisor within 24 hours. Please ensure you clear your history/cookies/cache in your browser before checking WebAdvisor for the update.

Depending on the length of time you were enrolled in your course(s) and how much of a refund you may have been eligible for, you may receive a T2202 that includes eligible partial fees and months.

If you have received a T2202 with $0 reported, or no T2202 has been produced even though you were registered, you have not paid all fees assessed for that tax year and have an overdue balance. Review your WebAdvisor account view for the balance owing and make the required payment. Once your payment has been received on your WebAdvisor account, notify accquest@uoguelph.ca and request an amended copy of your T2202.

No – the T2202 is made available and issued only in the student’s name. Students must use the reverse of the T2202 to transfer any unused current year amounts to a designated individual. For more information, please review the CRA website or consult a tax professional.

The T2202 reports the actual part-time or full-time enrolment status for all students, including those students with a disability. This means your T2202 is solely based on the number of credits you were enrolled in during the tax year and the eligible tuition fees you paid for those credits. We cannot change your T2022 form to reflect full-time status for full-time fees as you would have only paid part-time fees for registration below 2.00 credits/term.

Note: If you are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) you would need to submit the appropriate documentation and forms with your tax return to inform the CRA that you may be considered full-time for other provisions within the Income Tax Act and various provincial and territorial programs.

Any questions regarding the DTC should be directed to the CRA.

The RL-8 slip is a tax form of the Ministère du Revenu du Québec and is intended only for Quebec residents. If you require an RL-8 to file your taxes, please send a written request to accquest@uoguelph.ca. Ensure you submit your email request from your UofG email account. We will not provide the RL-8 to external email addresses.

Yes - you can use your T2202 when filing your U.S. tax return. The University does not issue 1098T tax receipts. You may be asked to include a U.S. Employer Identification Number (EIN) with your return. Please call or email our office to request our EIN.

T2202 information is provided to all students to enable them to complete their Canadian tax returns. Contact the CRA to determine whether you need to file a Canadian tax return and/or a tax return in your country.

Any questions regarding the use of the T2202 or other tax slips in the preparation of your taxes should be directed to the Canada Revenue Agency. The CRA publishes a Students and Income Tax publication each year that contains helpful information. You can also review the personal income tax information

A Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income (T4A) is provided by the University to students who have received awards, including scholarships and bursaries, in the previous tax year.

 These slips are mailed to students in late February each year. For more information on slips from 2022 or earlier, please contact Human Resources by phone at (519) 824-4120 ext. 53374 or by email at hr@uoguelph.ca.

Statements of Remuneration Paid (T4) are typically issued by your employer. If you were employed by the University of Guelph during the tax year and are expecting or have questions about your T4, please contact Human Resources.

No. Money that was received by the University from a provincial loan program and/or the National Student Loan Service Centre will not appear on your UofG T4A. Only awards which have been provided by the University of Guelph to the student will be included. If you received OSAP or funding from another provincial student aid program, you can review your applicable tax receipts by logging into your National Student Loan Service Centre account.

Whether you will receive a T4A from the University, or whether you should be following up with the Scholarship Provider, is typically outlined in your scholarship funding letter. Where a provider indicates that they expect the University will issue a T4A, you would receive a T4A from UofG. If the provider indicates that they will be issuing the T4A themselves, you will not receive one from the UofG.
