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
Council 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
undergraduate international students from the increase to the
7 {, q: ~& k3 j, R) x/ K" I  gdifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
tuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
/ z; C. t5 A: ]+ `; A+ m  EAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.

1 n$ `) M2 E7 w7 L" V6 r7 |) [Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
4 S4 K  `9 J: h/ [+ Kincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
3 S3 v( H& x3 Y) e220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
! s6 b3 o; H) ywill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
# _% s) i, n: Lleast, 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.

international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
