Contract Law in Higher Education

Contract law in higher education governs the agreements between students and universities. When a student enrolls, they enter a contract that includes terms like course offerings, grading policies, and tuition fees. If a university fails to uphold its promises, such as not providing the courses promised, students may have legal grounds to seek remedies. Conversely, students must also fulfill their obligations, such as paying fees and adhering to the institution's rules. This legal framework ensures clarity and fairness in the educational relationship, protecting the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
