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.

Dear International Undergraduate Students,
* W; {+ |  z; y3 \
' F3 I2 u. j$ cYesterday, 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
6 ?0 {& }( H0 j# Qundergraduate international students from the increase to the
7 D! p+ l7 [7 Rdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
% H* c( t/ A* q( K5 C" ftuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).

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

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the

  m9 }& U2 B0 j8 ^1 F' Ewould 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
help. Thank you.
