Hi, there

" S+ R# j# f1 W/ G$ W7 q/ yGood 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
, d; Z9 I8 z  I) ICouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
undergraduate 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

Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an

, R0 S( _2 d' R5 `4 O220%. 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

international 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
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
