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.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current

differential fee. This means that next year, all current international

the differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an

220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At

The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
