The policy regarding the release of information about students is intended to protect the individual student's right to privacy and the confidentiality of his or her record.

The total amount of tuition fees paid may not necessarily correspond to your T2202 because not all tuition and related fees are tax deductible.
Fees that are not eligible include TMSU, TMAPS, parking, residence and meal plans, TMSU Health & Dental, program and select ancillary fees, material fees, co-op, goods of lasting value that you keep (such as a computer, uniform or tools) and certain other administrative fees.
The total amount of tuition fees paid may not necessarily correspond to your T2202 because not all tuition and related fees are tax deductible.
TMU is required to make the T2202 available to the student directly. Students must use the T2202 on their own return until the Federal Tax payable is reduced to zero. At this point the student may transfer the balance of the credit to their parent using the information on the T2202 related to the transferring of the unused credit as per the Income Tax Act.
In addition to claiming eligible tuition and related fees, students are eligible to claim amounts based on the number of months respective to their status as part-time or full-time. The university must first and foremost recognize the student's academic career as part-time or full-time before they are assessed appropriately.
- Full time students enrolled in ten or more course hours per week for three consecutive weeks in a month
- Part time students enrolled in less than ten hours per week for three consecutive weeks in a month
As per the Income Tax Act, students may not combine receipts from institutions to meet the minimum eligible fee.
Parents may choose to claim Sports/Summer camps as day care, and should use the receipt(s) provided at the time of registration for their child (children). Summer camps do not qualify as tuition and a T2202 receipt will not be produced for them.
Effective 2020, educational institutions report total tuition paid on T2202 forms (external link) , rather than total tuition fees assessed. As a result, students who have paid partial tuition will have that partial amount reflected on their tax form.
An updated T2202 will be automatically issued via MyServiceHub after you make a payment toward these overdue charges. For details, see What if I make a payment after my T2202 is released?
The T2202 is populated using tuition payments for fees owing to the previous calendar year that are posted to MyServiceHub by February 1 of the current calendar year.
Payments made after February 1 are updated on the T2202 during a six-week amendment period from March 15 to May 1. If payments have been made towards fees from the previous calendar year after February 1, T2202 forms are updated to reflect the tuition fees paid. Amended forms are submitted on the first day of the month and the fifteenth day of the month (or the first business day following those dates). They are then reuploaded to MyServiceHub. In January of each year, a final T2202 amendment file will be submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency for tuition payments that are made after the March 15 to May 1 amendment period of the previous calendar year.
For example: if you made a payment on April 5, you will have access to an updated T2202 tax form by the end of the business day on April 15. The form will be available in your Student Center within MyServiceHub and you may access it at any time. Keep in mind that payments are not instantly received. It can take three to five business days for payments to appear on your student account.
Depending on the length of time you remained enrolled in your course(s), fees stemming from dropped course(s) may be excluded from your T2202.
You must remain enrolled in your course(s) for a minimum of three consecutive weeks in order for course(s) to be included on your T2202 form.
The tuition waiver/rebate program is offered to employees of TMU, however the T4A is issued in the name of the student.
No. Money received through OSAP and the National Student Loan Service Centre will not appear on a student’s T4A. Only funding which has been provided by TMU to the student will be included.
If you received OSAP, you can access your OSAP tax receipts by logging into your National Student Loan Service Centre (external link, opens in new window) account.
The T4A is based on the tax year (January to December) and not the school year.
Your T4A will reflect the date your funds were disbursed, not the term that they were issued. For example, if you received a $1,000 entrance scholarship on your offer of admission, $500 would be disbursed to the fall term and $500 to the winter term. As a result, the $500 dispersed to the winter term would be reported on the tax slip for the following tax year.
No. Your T4 Statement of Remuneration Paid is a record of your employment income and the amount of tax which was deducted. Employees who consented to receive this electronically will be able to download a copy of their T4A receipt from eHR during the third week of February. If consent was not provided, these are mailed to the address listed in their eHR account. More information can be found on the Human Resources website.
