International tuition. Let's get it on.

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,

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
  J% P! a! u1 }8 n9 j" v4 dCouncil met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
news to report from that meeting.

: A, S/ l4 c' e, DFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
undergraduate international students from the increase to the
! f' ?) `2 d7 i! U2 `  F2 R2 W7 Zdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
& C" ?' O( K3 j8 B7 Kstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
' c( f9 f* R* e. t+ wAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
' g* C7 H( k' e% ythe differential for international graduate students.

/ J0 V, G- ?8 _0 P) ZNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
0 N5 e5 z0 M- {220%. 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
increases once they are here.

% Q, t5 x. Y3 e) Q* eThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the

( Q" y4 F' F* `4 T  \" k/ Awould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
