Hi, there

9 z8 m3 Q" Q* M& BGood 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.

3 Q- t. Q+ X! m3 vDear International Undergraduate Students,
+ n" S9 u9 q4 x' z$ K
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
" K' {' T; K  }Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
3 B& g  b( @% Rnews to report from that meeting.

) `; _, u4 Z. AFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
8 S2 q/ d+ J9 B" i% w5 Kundergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
  t0 m- D, Z& l8 {6 G/ E" d# J, C3 }students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
" H% L" [% W/ {tuition 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.

. V9 ?3 u" q0 d' b% h& pincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
8 h1 ?0 h! q' h2 m220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
3 }( p. [- F6 Q- O& o2 e2 k1 |  zwill pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At

3 v2 v0 x2 p5 m: M+ ?- h
The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
2 J. l( o6 j0 [& E, S# c- S3 [international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
3 r6 G1 `  b" B/ J) |have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
