Review the basic requirements for a valid contract listed at the beginning of this chapter. Now consider the relationship entered into when a student enrolls in a college or university.

1. Analyze and discuss whether a contract has been formed between the student and the college or university.

2. Assume there is a contract and explain whether it is bilateral or unilateral.

3. Consider the documents that you signed when enrolling in college. Did you read and understand the provisions? Would the plain meaning rule apply even if you did not understand some parts?
