Hi, there
2 I0 q2 A, y1 w
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,
6 e5 }2 e: c# ]
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
( c  T8 i! u) x* Q' B: j0 }news to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
undergraduate international students from the increase to the
4 x" \) |3 ]. Q$ H. C" i4 Jdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
5 j& p% k3 n1 ~' j# K( ystudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
: s% t9 A8 {/ e/ l4 D. E! o: n6 m' Utuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
9 @9 l' G) P# a% k( ZAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.

' x4 j5 f9 s) D( R2 S7 PNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
8 R6 C0 |6 A6 {# D& Gincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At

increases once they are here.

0 u; W, b; J, f/ N) z, ^The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
' Q% N$ f; [4 F4 |4 e( tinternational differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
( P3 L# j& p. i* J9 a1 nwould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
