Hi, there" l# H9 [ y; U" A$ _
& r+ V7 f$ x$ [) k: ?7 ~
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.

news to report from that meeting.

differential fee. This means that next year, all current international ; S, w3 H& e3 v7 v& E$ ^9 O

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an

220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students S ` w6 f+ W9 [. s
