You can register your social insurance number (SIN) through myPortal by going to *myPortal > Finances > Social Insurance Number. *More information about SIN collection can be found in the [Tax Receipts section](https://myportal.macewan.ca/student/finances/tax-receipts.html).

If you are a domestic student, MacEwan University must collect your SIN if you are enrolled in a qualifying program eligible for tuition or education tax credits under the Income Tax Act. We also require your SIN before we can disperse any scholarships, awards or bursaries to you. 

If you are an international student, no SIN is required.
