Hi, there
; u5 {+ p) K) ~; k
" W/ ^( V" s. @, N  ]$ J9 b4 MGood 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.

5 W) }& A6 X" W& F% p/ wDear International Undergraduate Students,

8 }4 O0 r5 |- n6 B" h4 dYesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
9 Y2 O, n. Y% Z8 J! r5 T" l5 @Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
# ?; u- M* {. |6 U9 T0 G( o8 j0 Tnews to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
5 |& f. h8 D+ p+ j! uundergraduate international students from the increase to the
  r/ Z2 \+ @9 m4 C& P4 |) tdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
2 ], P) Z$ r& q6 C6 tstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.
; g1 N! ^+ y1 b' _# ?5 Y2 d" [
Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
5 d8 {) v  f0 P" I3 D9 Vincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
. w& F/ n8 ~& b$ t) K8 _4 j4 ]5 u220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
/ W" v9 G  \% O7 }$ n0 mwill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At

increases once they are here.

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the

1 D( d/ `3 i: |' F* N  ]- ywould like to say thank you to all of the international students that

increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
