  • Universities Receive Approval to Address Market Anomalies One-Time Tuition Fee Adjustments Will Help Balance Affordability and Quality
    April 7, 2010 Universities receive approval to address market anomalies One-time tuition fee adjustments will help balance affordability and quality Edmonton... One-time tuition fee adjustments for six professional programs will help Alberta’s two biggest universities maintain quality without compromising affordability for students. Minister of Advanced Education and Technology, Doug Horner approved the adjustments to address market anomalies that existed when tuition fees were capped in 2004. The increases will not apply to students who are currently in these programs or making plans for this coming fall. They will be implemented for new students starting in fall 2011. “These adjustments will ensure the continued quality of these programs,” said Horner. “Students have indicated their support and I understand that some are working with their universities to see a percentage of the new revenue reinvested into student supports, like scholarships and bursaries.” A total of 24 proposals were received from five institutions. The six accepted proposals are for Engineering, Pharmacy, Bachelor of Commerce and Graduate Studies programs at the University of Alberta and Bachelor of Commerce and Masters of Business Administration programs at the University of Calgary. Increases of between $800 and $3,300 per year were approved based on an anomaly existing in 2004, support from student associations, and keeping costs comparable to other programs in Canada. “These have not been easy decisions to make. You have to look at the proposals on a case-by-case basis,” said Horner. “In the end, what it really comes down to is finding the right balance between affordability and quality.
