What are T2202 tax forms?
T2202 forms are issued to students who have paid $100.00 or more in eligible fees for post-secondary-level courses in a particular tax year.
If you're a full-time or part-time student, Royal Roads University will provide you with T2202 tax forms.
These tax forms allow you to claim eligible tuition and/or fees for federal and provincial or territorial tax purposes, where applicable.
How to get your form
Tax forms are available for download online by the end of February for the previous tax year.
- Undergraduate or graduate program T2202 forms can be downloaded on MyAdmin.
- Professional and Continuing Studies T2202 forms can be downloaded on the PCS Student Portal for eligible courses .
- Tax years 2023 forward: If you are enrolled in an Undergraduate or Graduate program and you completed an eligible course from Professional and Continuing Studies, you will download 2 separate forms; one from MyAdmin and one from PCS Student Portal.
Important reminder if you have two T2202 slips for the same tax year
If you were enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, as well as a Professional and Continuing Studies program, you may have two T2022 slips for the same tax year. When preparing your personal income taxes, the same month can only be claimed once when reporting the periods of full-time and part-time studies.
For example, if enrolled for 4 months as full time, and 1 of those months was also reported as part time on another T2202 slip, you would only claim the full-time status for the month that overlaps. The total months claimed cannot exceed the total months attending studies for the year, and the same month cannot be claimed twice. The eligible tuitions fees are not impacted by this; the full amount on both slips would still be reported.

Tax information

It does not provide assurance that you're eligible for:

You must determine if you're eligible for these tax incentives according to your own circumstances. Find information for students on the Canada Revenue Agency's website or consult your tax advisor.

Understanding tuition amounts on your tax form
The eligible tuition amount on your T2202 form may differ from the amount that you have paid in tuition in a given year. The tax form amount reflects the dollar value of courses taken in a calendar year (from January to December), not the year in which you paid for them.
If you pay for a course this calendar year, but you will take the course next calendar year (e.g., you pay for a course in December, but you will take the course in January of the following year), the amount for that course will be included in the next year's tax form.
Providing your Social Insurance Number (SIN)
Since the 2019 tax year, all post-secondary institutions have been required to provide a social insurance number (SIN) on T2202 forms for the Canada Revenue Agency. Royal Roads University provides a T2202 form for all students registered in credit courses and eligible non-credit courses.
Your SIN data will be stored in our secure student management database and will only be accessible by authorized staff.
If you're a non-resident of Canada, you're not required to provide a SIN.
If you don't have a SIN, you can find out how to apply for one on the CRA website.
How to provide your SIN if you're enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program
If you're enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, you can provide your SIN in two ways:
- Log in to MyAdmin and add your SIN to MyProfile.
- Phone the Registrar's Office during office hours.
How to provide your SIN if you're enrolled in an eligible Professional and Continuing Studies course
If you're enrolled in an eligible Professional and Continuing Studies course, you can provide your SIN in two ways:
- Log in to the PCS Student Portal with your Academic Account username (i.e. jsmith@royalroads.ca or j5smith@royalroads.ca) and password
- Select My Profile from the left menu options, then click on Personal Information.
- In the Social Insurance Number field enter your SIN number in the box provided. When finished, click Save at the very bottom of the screen to update your information.
- For detailed instructions and screenshots please visit Student FAQ | Royal Roads University: How do I update my Social Insurance Number.
- For questions or assistance adding your Social Insurance Number, phone Professional and Continuing Studies at 250-391-2513 or Toll-free 1-866-890-0220.
International students
Royal Roads University is required to report T2202 information to all students to enable them to complete their Canadian income tax returns. If you're an international student, you'll receive a T2202.
You're required to file a Canadian income tax return if you're a resident of Canada. The T2202 is a tax receipt for tuition paid that can be used as a deduction against income you earn while in Canada.
