Receipts and T2202

Regulations effective September 1, 2022.

When a student registers in a course, they are issued a confirmation letter that indicates, among other details, the student fees paid. See the following section for more information.

Students may be eligible for the Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate tax credit for each month of part-time or full-time registration. The section below gives information on retrieving your T2202 form, if eligible.

When you register in a course, you are issued a confirmation letter that indicates, among other details, the student fees paid. Receipts for payment of fees are not issued unless requested.

If you require a receipt for reimbursement purposes by an employer, or for fees other than those listed in the confirmation letter, you must submit a separate request when you register or contact Accounts Receivable. In February each year, receipts for income tax credit purposes are issued.

In Canada, you may be able to reduce income tax payable by claiming tax credits for enrolment in and payment of tuition and academic fees for Athabasca University's credit courses. At the end of February, the official Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate (form T2202) will be available to all eligible students in printable format on Athabasca University's website at myAU portal.

To be eligible for the tax credit, the total of such fees paid to an educational institution in Canada for the year must exceed $100. Fees paid to the Students' Union and Alumni Relations are not eligible for inclusion in the tuition tax credit.

The calendar year for which the fees are paid, not the date on which the fees are paid, is used to calculate eligible tuition fees. Tuition fees paid for courses that extend beyond the calendar year-end will be pro-rated on the T2202 according to the period of course delivery pertaining to each calendar year. For example, if a course has an October 1 start date and a March 31 contract end date, only 50 per cent of the tuition fee representing the October through December period will be reflected in the current year tax credit certificate. The remaining 50 per cent, representing January through March, will be reflected on the following year's T2202.

You may be eligible for the Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate tax credit for each month of part-time or full-time registration. For income tax purposes, a full-time student is defined as a person actively registered in a minimum of two credits per month.

Only the initial contract period is taken into consideration in the calculation of student status as reported on your Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate (Form T2202). Extensions are not considered in this calculation.

The Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate reflects the number of months of enrolment that are eligible to be considered as part time or full time. Further details concerning the Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate may be found in Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's (CCRA) Personal Income Tax Guide or by contacting a CCRA district taxation office.

Information effective Sept. 1, 2022 to Aug. 31, 2023.
