If you paid tuition, you may be able to claim tuition amounts on your tax return by using the Tuition Tax Receipts (T2202) form. The form will be available online via MyDC as of the last business day of February at 4 p.m.

CHANGES TO THE T2202 – 2019 AND FORWARD:

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires all designated educational institutions in Canada to do the following:

• File Tuition and Enrolment Certificate forms (T2202) with the CRA and make them available to students by February 28^th.
• Include SIN numbers on the Tuition and Enrolment Certificate Form (T2202).

In order for us to produce your T2202, you are required to add your SIN to your student account by December 31^st in the year in which you were enrolled.  Once entered, it is not necessary to do it for future tax years. You can do this on MyDC by:

• Logging in to the Self-Service Log In
• Click Personal Information
• Click Social Insurance Number Collection *Mandatory*
• Click Save to submit your SIN number

Alternatively, you may phone us at 905.721.3000.  Please have your student number available.

In order to protect your privacy, we cannot collect SIN numbers through email.

If you need to reset your MyDC password, click here and follow the steps. If you still cannot reactivate your account, please contact the Help Desk at 905.721.3333, option #1. Please have your student number available.

GRADUATES AND FORMER STUDENTS:

MyDC passwords expire after 90 days of inactivity.  MyDC accounts belonging to graduates and former students can be re-activated to allow you to access your T2202 online.

General information on tuition receipts

Official receipts for income tax purposes are issued once a year at the end of February, for the preceding calendar year (i.e. January to December). In accordance with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulations, official receipts (T2202 forms) are only issued for tuition fees totalling $100.00 or more.

Post-Secondary, Apprenticeship and Professional and Part-time Learning students can retrieve their T2202 forms online through MyDC. You will require your:

• Student identification number (9-digit 100 number)
• Date of birth (MMDDYY) or postal code (L1K7K4) uppercase no space or your MyDC password

Please note: The total amount of tuition fees paid may not necessarily correspond to your T2202 because not all tuition fees are tax deductible.  In addition, the T2202 is based on the January to December tax year and not the September to April academic year.

Tuition fees not eligible for tax deduction include:

• Entrance or initiation fees to a professional organization;
• Administrative fees
• Meals and lodging;
• Medical care;
• Retained goods of lasting value (e.g. computer, tools or uniform);
• Materials
• Transportation and parking; and
• Durham College Student Initiative (DCSI) fees.

Durham College makes no assertion as to whether students are entitled to claim the T2202. It is recommended that students verify eligible expenses with the CRA prior to filing their income tax. Refer to the CRA website for further information about eligible expenses.

Submitting a T2202 tax form without a SIN number may result in your tax return being rejected by the CRA. The information can be found on the CRA website.

For children’s programs (camps), retain the original confirmation of the registration form for income tax purposes. No other receipt will be issued.

For record keeping purposes; if you have had a change of address and did not notify the college, please do so as soon as possible. You can advise the college of an address change by:

• Updating your information by logging-on through Self Service on MyDC – Personal Information – Update address and phones.

• Submitting a Change of Contact Information form and emailing the form to central@durhamcollege.ca.
