Hi, there
/ P/ u0 d) f, S4 g3 J
& M  {( s$ J; O% Q4 ^9 RGood 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.

9 b0 W9 c1 \6 aDear International Undergraduate Students,
) ~, V+ d  t- U0 i2 [
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
0 ]9 j  K" D& Z0 b  K1 G1 Lnews to report from that meeting.
1 Q- H5 A5 Y, _7 O' ]. {
$ m# Y, ]4 i4 ]; ^( B* Z# k7 M8 aFirst, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
2 p( H" d6 [& `7 @" j) q# ^undergraduate international students from the increase to the
differential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
  h% U) Z1 [5 l1 htuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
: ^+ _1 r6 j2 o  b6 mAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
the differential for international graduate students.
( O# Y8 f# @6 ]' y3 C" _( F8 a1 m4 X
- U1 u6 z7 _( t2 Z0 N/ g$ uNow, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
/ ?! ^9 h. T9 vincrease in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
5 ]) k% G; D0 d0 G, i' h0 bleast, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
# w5 U+ Y9 r' rtuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.
7 k5 Q6 w$ e) f8 q( w5 d! z  J4 a  M
The Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
would like to say thank you to all of the international students that
" J9 |- `  h' x/ L5 khave sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this

help. Thank you.
