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.

Dear International Undergraduate Students,

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.
  j) d' I) `" n/ a: i
First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
+ r7 w2 z2 D+ y9 Xundergraduate international students from the increase to the
3 ~4 Q% K+ y" {' E( \0 _9 zdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
+ J2 k" @5 T( B3 Z& ~) pstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
, V0 |; {5 ]  }1 |( |+ `. btuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
3 d4 E) Y: ~$ w: \the differential for international graduate students.
4 q( W' p% B: `( c8 W
/ o' ~* R. P% b! ~" jNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
7 G4 k# t( `, r/ k: S: Pincrease 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
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
5 I' n( h2 o4 j( {1 Otuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected

4 Y: E, ^) B8 mThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
/ k, I1 m2 `, r" M+ t6 \) t* @international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
9 h: D( B( g$ u' @$ z9 f+ Wwould like to say thank you to all of the international students that

help. Thank you.
