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

[Steve43]

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.
