Action Required

Dear all U of M students,

As you may be aware, when you graduate from a post-secondary institution and live and work in Manitoba you are eligible for a rebate on tuition paid after December 31, 2003. Manitoba Finance and the Canada Revenue Agency require the University of Manitoba to send your T2202A tax receipt information to them each year to verify your eligibility for this rebate. Your consent is required for the University of Manitoba to begin submitting this information on your behalf. Consent is required only once. T2202A information for 2010 will be sent in early 2011.

To provide your consent, log into Aurora Student and go to Enrolment & Academic Records |Declarations | Declare Consent for Release of T2202A Tax Receipt Information. Read the information carefully and either consent or decline to have your information sent to Manitoba Finance and the Canada Revenue Agency in support of the tuition tax credit. If you choose to decline, your T2202A receipt information will not be forwarded to Manitoba Finance and the Canada Revenue Agency.

If you do not respond by June 30, 2010 you will be required to do so the next time you log in to register or to access your grades. The Hold that prevents you from registering or viewing grades will be removed immediately after you respond and you may proceed immediately without further delay. i.e. you will not have to log again.

Further information on the Manitoba Tuition Fee Income Tax Rebate Program is available at http://gov.mb.ca/tuitionrebate/faq.html
