Forms
Below, we have put together all the forms and important links mentioned throughout this Online Orientation to George Brown College. We've also included some new ones that we think you might find useful.
Confirmation of Enrolment & Transcript Requests
You can securely request, pay for and share digital copies of your Confirmation of Enrolment letter, official transcript and credentials (certificates, diplomas, degrees), even after you graduate. These forms provide proof that you are registered at the college.
For more information, please refer to these FAQs.
Confirmation of Enrolment & Official Transcripts Requests for Domestic Students
Forms for domestic students cost $15 per request and are available by academic year (September – August). All documents will be issued via the MyCreds platform.
ONLINE:
Request online via the Academic Records Request Form. Your request will be available online in three to four business days. Processing time may vary during peak periods (January, May, June and September).
IN-PERSON:
In-person requests must be accompanied with valid photo identification (driver’s license, passport or GBC student ID).
Confirmation of Enrolment for International Students
International students may request their confirmation of enrolment through this Letter Request form. Login using your student ID number and GBC password.
Your proof of enrolment letter will be emailed to you within two to five business days of the International Centre receiving your request form. If you apply prior to the withdrawal deadline, your proof of enrolment letter will be issued to you only after the withdrawal deadline has passed. Please note that at the start of the semester we are unable to release letters until after the withdrawal deadline has passed.
Please note that the International Centre is only able to release letters for students who have no holds (i.e. financial or academic) and who have submitted a copy of their valid study permit to the International Centre.
Tuition Tax Forms
You can view and print your T2202A tuition tax form online through STU-VIEW at the beginning of each calendar year for the previous tax year.
To Log In and access your form:
- Log in to STU-VIEW.
- Select "Financial Services," then "Canadian Tax Forms." Click on "T2202A Tax Credit Form."
- Select the tax year and click either “View Data” or “Printable Form” and submit. Only tuition tax information for the year selected will be displayed.
Please note: As of 2019, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has made it mandatory for all post-secondary institutions to include SIN on the T2202 (Tuition and Enrolment certificate) tax form. Submitting a T2202 tax form without a SIN number may result in your tax return being rejected by the CRA.
Register Your Bicycle with Toronto Police
Having a bicycle in the city can be great and save you time and money. Protect yourself and your investment while you're at the college. Registering your bicycle with the police can greatly assist in its recovery if it gets stolen.
Here are some tips on how to keep it safe:
- Register your bicycle with the police and keep a copy of the serial number, make and model.
- Use a good quality locking device.
- Lock your bicycle with both wheels to an immovable object which cannot be easily cut or broken.
- Remove accessories like lights and bags and take them with you when you leave your bicycle unattended.
