Hi, there

4 h8 U# T/ j& L* X$ \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 q2 c6 x! N% ^7 R" o  a# a* _Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
* y" O& ^( Z0 ?( I, y/ C  G! fnews to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
$ V) D; K7 X( Sundergraduate international students from the increase to the
" Z5 U  A; S) _  e$ `1 }! Wdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
2 k/ Q" o' L( i3 Dstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition 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.

5 V6 {2 a" M/ lNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to

least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in

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