Hi, there
) k3 f- g# y) P' J( O: E8 Q; c& V0 B& ~
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. ' Y2 A0 F$ J! a/ Q

Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties

news to report from that meeting.: A0 c' L" ?. v g) I+ D

differential fee. This means that next year, all current international & E( y' l2 P1 Y/ m) s% l$ A% D
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base 6 _- v5 p: k/ S8 }0 ?8 r+ E

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an 3 B; @/ R$ ?7 V$ \5 A' q! r
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to 3 F& h. w& _1 p! {5 v" Y+ \
220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students , B' m2 L* Y& \5 w8 O, ?" L# x3 t R
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At ; ^, G* `( |2 U$ A, ?& [
