Hi, there

/ N( j' ~, Y6 B. }" A) A- sGood 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.

" k0 q# i) u" m8 u$ yDear International Undergraduate Students,

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
3 l* i3 i) y* I5 D2 v6 sCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
8 k3 R3 j9 d% ^; n; e0 ^5 T- F, I2 Ynews to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
, X) X7 O$ V' e4 Z+ dundergraduate international students from the increase to the
- Z' _% ?* G2 L7 V! E2 Q) c! ]3 Jdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
$ _/ n; p! V4 f. Z& n5 N; Ostudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
, D$ q( Q4 y7 Mtuition 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
7 r6 p9 R& X& X; @* S0 Y/ Pincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
# p4 T# i6 t  Z3 K( ~% xleast, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
1 ?- b* w7 M( R2 B" e$ ktuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.
" F$ j- \9 T9 z8 F# i
The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
. a$ ]* P, Y( E5 }! rwould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
+ P& b' T! q7 S% V. qhave sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
. ^  N/ u' I* w+ C# zhelp. Thank you.
