Hi, there
& R& }- L6 ~$ e2 x3 V& j
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,

" t8 T9 m: n. j: kYesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
0 W5 Z0 }  M$ H/ W2 o  ZCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
* `9 B0 o: |2 A( k0 U# T( U+ Snews to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
1 p, m7 w0 r5 t  [undergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
+ K" j: H# ?, ?3 n" astudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
: M& @/ ?  }2 A1 hAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.

2 u5 \9 z' H% X; ~4 m2 l; FNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
% C+ r" Q# M7 y$ oincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
. [  p# c1 Z: p) u& Hwill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
! J( d" |7 C6 mtuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
, f; e6 y' J6 b2 n. A3 Mincreases once they are here.

6 F' g# o6 d) r( k  zThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
( j6 e% I/ y+ z0 \: Rinternational differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this

help. Thank you.
