Is there a limit of the number of years tuition credits will carry forward for the taxpayer that earned them?

I'm trying to determine whether to advise my dependant to (1) keep their tuition amount as a carry forward credit or (2) transfer some of it to me. I can estimate the amount of tuition to be paid and tax to be owed by the dependant over the next several years, but I can't find if there is a limit to how many years the dependant will be able to carry this amount forward - assuming minimal income and therefore minimal tax owed during their education.

There is no limit for carry-forward of tuition and education credits.
