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.

Dear International Undergraduate Students,
2 v3 Z( G$ p: u" v; C, [8 E  h2 }* A
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
9 y$ |1 \( }- v! R/ M9 G9 Unews to report from that meeting.
3 e0 {. ~. e7 p& d. Z: ^& A- ?5 i
. I( N5 H  e+ R& i$ i  gFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
9 O+ c; I5 d2 }% V3 bundergraduate international students from the increase to the
. |1 [: R2 U9 r/ f/ tdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
/ Z  {) j6 U/ o. j4 Ystudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
1 I7 H, q: g& n+ R. r" U5 }tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
4 ?  j% x) X0 i: hthe differential for international graduate students.

' d& G5 _" U$ p' M( g4 }# rNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
$ U& }0 V# a# Y" `7 A2 [7 R# t6 [! mincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
) Q: L. T+ T  p+ Cwill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
2 j! p3 {+ ~. j+ ztuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.
# P6 N8 P$ o, i: Q1 H: s/ q
The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
. q( @2 H! T0 o6 m2 r: minternational differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
8 E' w" k$ v. Y8 t3 ywould 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.
