# a2 [8 S* [9 Q5 y1 F, I3 zGood 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.

undergraduate international students from the increase to the

students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base 8 Z. c2 B# ~# i1 ?7 A
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%). ' b* b L/ ~5 A- E. o
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase

will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
