After you have successfully registered, you may view your timetable online at any time. Georgian College reserves the right to alter course availability as well as the right to withdraw a student from a course if the student has failed a prerequisite. For this reason, you must check to see if any changes have been made online even after you have printed your timetable. It is essential that you do this before the start of classes.

The student’s tax receipt will reflect only the “eligible fees” as per Canada Revenue Agency guidelines, not all the fees that may have been paid.
Receipts issued in February will cover only terms or sessions attended during the prior calendar year. As a consequence, amounts paid in November relating to the following Winter Semester that commences in January and ends in April will not be included until the next year. Tuition and related fees paid for courses that extend beyond the calendar year-end will be pro-rated on the T2202A 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 end date, only 50 percent of the tuition and related fees representing October through December period will be reflected in the current year T22002A, and the remaining 50 percent, representing January through March will be reflected on the following year’s T2202A.

We wish to provide faster and more efficient service to our students.

Students with questions regarding the tuition and related fees amount reported on their T2202A may contact the accounting department at: accounting@georgianc.on.ca

Students who still have questions regarding the number of months on their T2202A may contact the scheduling department at: scheduling@georgianc.on.ca

Fees that are not eligible include: Student Association fees, Alumni fees, Athletic fees, textbooks, goods of lasting value that you keep.

You may submit the T2202A even if the address is incorrect. We would request that you update your address with Georgian College. Please contact any registration office of Georgian College to update your address or email your change to: registrar@georgianc.on.ca Please include: name, student number, new address, new telephone number, if applicable, including area code.

The T2202A process used to determine the number of eligible months has been changed to reflect Canada Revenue Agency regulations. Part-time students only receive a month if the program involves a minimum of 12 hours and 3 consecutive weeks in courses per calendar month.
When terms end part way through a month, part-time students cannot achieve the required 12 hours and 3 consecutive weeks in that particular month. Since the minimum hours and weeks per month is not obtained, the month cannot be awarded.

The information on Georgian College’s web site is not intended as taxation advice and should not be relied upon in the preparation of a taxation return.

You need to have your son/daughter access sis.georgianc.on.ca and print it for you. Note that students must use the Tuition & Education Credit Certificate (T2202A) on their own tax return until the Federal Tax payable is reduced to zero, after which the student may then transfer the balance of the credit to another eligible party using the reverse side of the T2202A form, as per the Income Tax Act. This requires the student’s signature.

Please note that there is an official College policy and Federal and Provincial legislation regarding the release of student information which is intended to protect individual student’s right to privacy and the confidentiality of his/her record.

Your T2202A tax information will continue to be available for seven years at sis.georgianc.on.ca

Students may be eligible for the education tax credit for each month of part-time or full-time registration.
The T2202A Tuition and Education Credit Certificate will reflect the number of months of enrolment that are eligible to be considered as part time or full time study. Further details concerning the Tuition and Education Tax Credit may be found at Canada Revenue Agency’s website www.cra-arc.gc.ca or by telephone at 1-800-959-8281.

A specified part-time educational program is one that consists of courses providing credit towards a degree, diploma or certificate lasting at least 3 consecutive weeks and requires at least 12 hours of instruction each month.

A qualifying full-time educational program is a program that is provided by a designated educational institution providing credit towards a degree, diploma or certificate that lasts at least three consecutive weeks and requires a minimum of 10 hours of instruction or work in the program each week (not including study time, or Central Michigan studies). A program is not considered a qualifying educational program if the student receives an allowance, benefit, grant, or is reimbursed for expenses (not including a scholarship, fellowship, bursary, or prize for achievement; or certain benefits by way of loans or financial assistance under certain government legislation).

The Tuition and Education Amount Certificates for tax years 2004 and greater are available at the end of February for the previous calendar year at sis.georgianc.on.ca. You will need your student ID number and your Personal Identification Number (PIN).

T2202A forms are issued to students who have paid more than $100.00 in eligible fees for courses beginning and ending in a particular calendar year. To be eligible for an education tax credit, the program of study must last at least three consecutive weeks and at least twelve hours per month.

According to Canada Revenue Agency, a student in an applied degree or work term is considered eligible for the education amount only during the months attending the educational institution.
