Tax information

The T2202 tax receipt will contain applicable fees, as well as the number of eligible full- or part-time months of study.

The T2202 will only contain fees assessed within the tax year (January – December) that have been paid. Please note that not all fees paid to UCalgary will appear on the T2202. Only tax-eligible fees will be present.

Tuition tax receipts are available in late February for the preceding tax year. You can access your T2202 through the My Financials section of your Student Centre.

If you would like us to add your Social Insurance Number (SIN) to a past T2202 receipt, submit a service request through your Student Centre. In order to update your T2202, your SIN needs to already be updated on your student record. If you don't have a SIN on your student record, contact Enrolment Services for help updating your SIN.

Once the SIN is on file, you can request an updated T2202 receipt by submitting a service request through your Student Centre and selecting Submit T2202 Update Request.

The T4A reports non‑employment income paid by UCalgary. Only funding paid by UCalgary appears on this form. This includes scholarships, awards, bursaries and fellowships. Funding from external organizations isn’t included. A T4A is issued if the total amount you received from UCalgary is more than $500.

You can access your T4A by logging into your Student Centre and selecting View my T4/T4A under Quick Links.

You’ll receive an Alberta Student Aid T4A if the total amount of grants, scholarships and awards you received is more than $500. 

If your email is verified in your Student Aid account, you’ll be notified electronically. You’ll only receive a paper copy by mail if one of the following applies: 

• Your email isn’t verified 
• Your account is set to paper communications 
• The scholarship isn’t available online  

Student loans aren't income and they don’t generate T4As. Most students don’t need to pay tax on grant funding. 

For federal grant T4As, log in to NSLSC online services. 

If you received more than $500 in funding from an organization outside UCalgary, that organization issues your T4A. This is true even if you submitted the funding to UCalgary to be applied to your student account.

If a third‑party sponsor paid your tuition, the following applies: 

• The payment will appear on your T2202 
• You won’t receive a T4A from UCalgary 

UCalgary's Students' Union runs a volunteer tax program for current students, staff and faculty.

Contact Enrolment Services if you have questions about your tax receipts. 

No, you can still file your taxes. T2202 receipts aren’t required to file taxes, but you must provide them if the CRA asks. Your T2202 doesn't not need to reflect your current address, and the address on the T2202 doesn't need to match all your other tax receipts to file your taxes. Make sure your address is up to date in your Student Centre.

You can still access the Student Centre if you remember your eID and password.

Here are contact details for help recovering your eID:

• Email: it@ucalgary.ca
• Phone: 403.210.9300 or 1.888.342.3802
