International tuition. Let's get it on.

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.

% ~* L2 A3 k8 h. o0 O5 ~, U. ~Dear International Undergraduate Students,

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
, ?2 x1 v9 H5 w) M( U# lCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

5 ?' o" ]* O$ O6 v$ DFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
undergraduate international students from the increase to the
" E( Z; R2 c6 N+ i# |differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
6 H5 n8 y  ~/ U& U- pstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
' l: O  V; @- j/ n! [tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
# }; s# D; E8 z; P; mthe differential for international graduate students.
4 {5 B! \" h4 e6 o% s
Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
% g3 X% _+ U( G3 O& ^  E; Jincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
! V) {& o$ W* b. g; |will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
/ V( Q6 v: T% u' h& mleast, 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
increases once they are here.

6 x7 t+ M2 d( v0 ~+ ~The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international 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
" h; q: [$ t* u$ _increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
