Hi, there
. T/ m2 v  V. v# H+ V. Q
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.

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.
. R( _, |9 M* [2 _, x& `
First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
undergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
" u9 W3 B5 Z" f1 Y" L! Hstudents will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
5 I: `2 {$ O: Q: ~" T4 V+ y# ktuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
" g8 \0 O' z3 l& B0 XAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
- d; a# g' C7 ]% K, q7 pthe differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
$ m/ M2 f# c0 K4 \least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in

increases once they are here.

international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I

increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
