Hi, there
. h4 F7 ]( A& P2 t8 E
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,
+ D+ H: ]6 t0 [& B" B3 q' ]
+ i0 L: ~8 I; M) oYesterday, 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.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
+ N" J# C6 K0 n9 f, Q  L  M9 g2 uundergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
3 z! l. N7 a' ^+ {+ H2 D& pstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
+ a/ |) D  }* OAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
6 r5 M5 {, Z4 Fincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
. D/ n3 f1 {# N, h# d: N220%. 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
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.

8 ^% W( H& p1 h0 BThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
! _  e& p  m- Y* E* M* j5 W) m1 ginternational 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

help. Thank you.
