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. $ n- N2 m- C' }

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties # `* n3 `1 W0 ~4 Y5 D

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current

Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase

220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
