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,
9 I" x) t4 o: f2 E
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
- W0 w4 _! M/ p0 u! M" f' TCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
  s0 B. r9 J( q, l! O5 W( knews to report from that meeting.

& h9 G- J1 f+ q- J! v7 x* lFirst, 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
& i$ R+ d. T) d! c4 X0 w. E4 rstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
+ B' g" F7 @  [/ V6 U, N# i0 s; \Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
# O: `8 l; b/ v7 l+ `$ ]the differential for international graduate students.

" Q( j2 p& }2 J- l: Y  O, Kincrease 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
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

) P5 M+ Q1 o# k; ^: G* gThe 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
have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this

help. Thank you.
