Hi, there

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.

differential fee. This means that next year, all current international

the differential for international graduate students.

" O& N  D- l! `# v- ]Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to

least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
3 ^  B% O0 k5 owould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
