Are you entering your tuition fees from a T2202a slip? If "yes", are there any full or part-time months shown on it?

If you are entering your tuition from a T2202A slip and have any Full or Part-Time months, you will receive credit for your Tuition plus the Provincial Education Amount. 

Alberta credits for Part-Time Months (Box B) are $218 per month, and Full-Time Months are $727.

This shows in the Student Summary as two separate entries in the Provincial section as shown in the screenshot.
