The document discusses the basic requirements for a valid contract in the context of a student's enrollment in a college or university. It prompts analysis on whether a contract exists between the student and the institution, and whether that contract is bilateral or unilateral. It also questions the understanding of the enrollment documents and the applicability of the plain meaning rule.

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

understand the provisions? Would the plain meaning rule apply even if you did not understand
some parts?
