The gov't doesn't care if you claim too little; it's when you over claim that they can start to get a little nasty.

the correction will take 8 weeks to fix and through that 8 weeks you will be charged interest, so I wouldn't suggest doing this. You can only claim your tuition not any of the extra fees taht the school/students association charges you. The best way to estimate is to look on the school website where they have a break down of what money you paid and what it was for, use the portion that is only for tuition. when i took 5 classes at MRC i paid 2600 for a semester but I was only able to claim 1600. So knocking it down a bit doesn't do much. And when you claim your tuition you have to send the T2202A form with your tax return.
