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.

1 J6 u& s8 G" {  v; HDear International Undergraduate Students,

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
1 {( i+ P, F+ u5 ^Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
5 Q- s% }5 r" \1 Rundergraduate international students from the increase to the
8 _. J+ A- H7 @. C: i" R  X" vdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base

the differential for international graduate students.

Now, 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
" c; y2 z* |# `  M6 Awill 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
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.
