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.

( b' n0 K9 ~/ M6 m& dDear International Undergraduate Students,
3 r$ K; H3 w) H% d% P
$ e( E' I9 C0 A( E0 a7 V# |3 jYesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
+ k( ^, s/ ^+ {" bnews to report from that meeting.

! y+ r9 u6 o! @3 c6 BFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
1 Y5 F, R- n( h/ s' V1 O  Fundergraduate international students from the increase to the
! b% u9 K; R" H0 V9 N8 Ldifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
( o+ ]% y5 X& I1 S4 a( G; |+ Ustudents 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.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
4 X7 \" F2 @$ ~$ A+ \" M% yincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
8 E" D. \4 z  Fwill 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
! x1 f9 e+ t% `/ o. c8 m, ctuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
7 t9 t: I- ?! ?' o- Hincreases once they are here.

The 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
4 K6 v* V* s2 ~have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
, i8 g& e* T9 |/ y( O6 _+ H, ghelp. Thank you.
