1098-T Forms Are Available Online for 2025
1098-T forms for 2025 have been issued for Cal Poly students. The student is able to view/print the form by logging into his/her Poly Portal (my.calpoly.edu) and selecting the Money Matters tab. The “Form 1098-T Tuition Statement” link will be visible in the Self Service section (below the gold "Make a Payment Now" button).
Students have access to their Cal Poly portal (and the 1098-T) for 2 years after leaving the university. You may , however, need a password reset if you graduated or took time off from attending. Contact IT Services at 805-756-7000 during regular business hours for a password reset.
A paper form will only be mailed if consent to view online has not been given by the student.*
If the student did not receive a 1098-T form for 2025 online, one may be produced upon request. This request can be made by calling the Student Accounts office (805-756-1428) during regular business hours - Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, PST. The student will need a social security number or ITIN. A parent making this request must have "Authorize to Release (FERPA)" on file. A Form 1098-T cannot be mailed at this time, so consent to view online must also be given by the student.*
*To consent to view your 1098-T online:
From the Money Matters tab of the student Poly Portal (my.calpoly.edu), scroll down to the "Self Service" section and the "Form 1098-T Tuition Statement" link. In the next window, select the "Grant Consent" button. Read the agreement and then select the "Yes, I have read the agreement" box on the 1098-T Consent Agreement page and click "Submit".
Granting consent to receive your 1098-T via on-line access need only be given once. If you do not see the "Grant Consent" button, consent has already been given.
