Hi, there
# b$ ^+ r5 Y& Y  }% H& q5 o
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,
$ r& ~5 s7 ^$ u0 C
  `! `+ r# Y7 \4 C6 m3 wYesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
$ Q3 |6 z( [1 eCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
" z* ^# K5 _# `: h2 Q) f+ nundergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
7 I* h- p  v: T% k! F  l# 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
9 {* I. k7 p! t9 r% |) W+ Pincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
( C3 C4 N& w: K0 D' T220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will 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
" f% u8 v  f2 }6 N; n! Wincreases 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
4 O1 }9 {9 _& }- U7 j# `% `would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
4 O8 l7 p8 O, c8 f. O4 g/ G5 ehave sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
