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,
) k* m( r& `2 U1 B: y; {, K
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
1 I1 c7 |8 i0 F" [" b% r; eCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
' o" \, W: I! x8 anews to report from that meeting.
4 o. O$ R; h3 E
2 Z4 n( S8 W; o/ k+ {- t6 F; aFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
3 c9 w9 M* @4 O6 t4 Lundergraduate 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
# d2 e' G3 i7 Vtuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
: Z* p" [0 X+ ithe differential for international graduate students.

% z! T4 i# N3 Z! cNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
, Y* b. g5 i$ y) j) o' pleast, 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.

9 ~- E# ]4 ~# s! `: b, GThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
$ L+ y4 S8 d2 y0 ^- ]international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
( U5 F3 r* W3 @2 ]+ swould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
9 E2 y; C8 R+ Q  hhave sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.

Sincerely,
