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.

Dear International Undergraduate Students,

$ l( u$ P% q7 \" n6 ?* K, pYesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
* U3 W  L: ?! e! WCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

5 V7 A$ q% x" b, f3 E; RFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
. q+ R2 E/ b. f9 e  Rundergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
- ]  @4 x# F6 `3 j! ctuition 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.

$ G; J. f: z! W1 m( CNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
3 i- R; N2 s8 C5 a& fincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
. q, p/ \1 I( N' K0 n! h5 ]220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
0 P2 H. y5 {% X# j  Uleast, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
, W- c% K6 Z* x  Ttuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.
# e! f7 k( s. c! r) F! i3 {

international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
