Hi, there
& `. Q! W" R  T% E' c& n+ h
3 q$ Z. Q6 m7 G2 Z' g% d5 D  }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,
2 T0 F4 v) G& f, I( t7 m- q4 c5 `
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
" y( t6 ^5 `- e6 L0 @7 cnews to report from that meeting.
- a# T; k! D: r: o- s
9 h( T* {, @. S0 J5 d! ~. nFirst, 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
" _/ u/ c: ^. Z5 ^1 S3 nstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
$ H/ I1 }  \/ \) `1 r* K# tAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.
5 ^. b& m9 a: S) h
9 j4 Y, }4 h3 G0 }Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
& j: {, R- c8 g! d% j0 Hincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
0 Y# h- |5 o  n7 W* ^5 |, \220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students

tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected

+ x# |( Z, \5 E* d, |0 ]# n- nThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the

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.
