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.

) |5 `/ W$ Y5 ~3 \Dear International Undergraduate Students,

0 S( W. ~6 D+ {' W  l( V0 F) wYesterday, 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.
( E/ b/ y! w$ _6 n7 e( u# u
3 @( {1 j- b! PFirst, 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
& ^4 b1 b6 l/ W" J( `students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
+ _; f, M, ]% f6 v6 _" G. B# m- 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.

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

220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At

tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.

7 j: c1 G: Q/ j  R$ d$ @The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that

increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
