As of the 2021 tax year, the T2202 Tuition and Enrolment Certificates forms report the paid amount on eligible tuition fees required by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Prior to the 2021 tax year, the T2202 Tuition and Enrolment Certificates forms report charged amount on eligible tuition fees. For more information, please refer to the CRA website here.

As eligible tuition fees are paid, amended T2202 forms will be provided weekly in February until the end of April then monthly thereafter, also found on Carleton Central.
