Hi, there

9 g" t5 ]; S# \/ Y9 I0 ]Good news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree.

Dear International Undergraduate Students,

news to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current

" D) O' n- n' d( X& R9 m% m( ^! N& atuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
# [) R6 ]* \/ {9 T% C  E6 }9 jAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.
: T' V" g, n3 G* o4 ^# J
- R  ^, K6 S! f% K/ @( I! \# ANow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an

220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students

least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in

would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
