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.

news to report from that meeting.

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

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

Also, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase

increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
7 f0 ^4 [) |4 U8 V220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students

would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
