Harper College has chosen the payments received method when computing the 1098-T. Therefore the amount in Box 1 is calculated on payments made between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 for the Spring 2012, Summer 2012, Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 terms. It includes any 3rd party and financial aid payments.
