Update your SIN in your Student Center
The Office of the Registrar sent an email Monday, November 18, 2024, to all students who did not have a SIN number on their Student Center. This email was sent from Student Financial Services (regtax@uwo.ca) to your Western email (@uwo.ca).
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires educational institutions to request the Social Insurance Number (SIN) of students. The SIN will be used for the tuition tax credit form (T2202) issued to all students and, if applicable, the T4A form for students receiving scholarships, awards and bursaries.
Your SIN must be updated no later than December 31, 2024 so that we can process your tax forms appropriately. After this date, a $35.00 service fee will apply if you request an update of your form to include your SIN. If you are an International student who does not have a SIN, please disregard this email.
