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.

$ l  e" o, E% Z& XDear International Undergraduate Students,

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
/ d1 D4 v* L: s3 w  l+ W& ECouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.
# o* q5 T$ X# i: t
" \( A. w/ {& f3 G$ DFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
6 g/ U9 v; s. e& f9 W8 eundergraduate 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
! T! u2 F4 a' W5 ?. n" L, ftuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.

0 [4 `! O& E$ C( x9 GNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
2 ~! I3 U6 ^9 I1 F4 ~6 Dincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
2 y9 ]  C; M" P' G4 h0 E4 w6 Gwill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
' D$ O' q. Y7 tincreases once they are here.

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
9 |. c/ p( C2 |: l5 Binternational differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
) c$ U7 Q6 L3 E9 r) w( Lwould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
% q( y% f9 w! |have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
