Hi, there
2 V" I; F, D1 p2 E
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,

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

5 ]4 q* I% y& y' D* XFirst, 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
5 ?; g6 o) G4 _  ]* i  {* `& jstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
9 B) A8 x% h/ qtuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
5 x) z% S& y8 d# D. c6 l3 xAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
  F( o/ m/ V3 o# r) wthe differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
& N5 c9 Q% M5 @1 Nincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
2 b7 M  W1 A; O7 Q9 m7 {& ?: z# y# Qwill 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
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.

" @" a/ s, P9 k! |0 OThe 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
have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
/ j3 S. T  G3 O6 u; X- bincrease. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.

Sincerely,
