When will I receive my 1098-T?

1098-T鈥檚 are available to view and print online by mid-January. Students can visit > Student Account > View 1098T. If they have not previously done so, they will be prompted to grant consent to view it.

Once consent is granted, the student can view and print their 1098-T. Granting consent is only necessary one time; future 1098-T's will automatically be available to view and print online unless the student revokes consent.

Any eligible student who does not grant consent to view online will have a 1098-T form mailed by January 31st to their home address.

What are qualified and non-qualified expenses?

As determined by the federal government, qualified expenses are defined as amounts paid for tuition, fees and other related expense for an eligible student that are required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution.

Nonqualified expenses are defined as required course materials and educational supplies, living expenses including housing and food, parking, athletics, insurance, equipment, transportation, or other similar personal living expenses. As a result, the amount of qualified expenses will likely be less than the total amount of money paid.
