Abstract: 

Student handbooks have been viewed as contractual agreements in a number of
court cases; for this reason many institutions now include the disclaimer that
student handbooks are not contracts between students and institutions and that
institutions reserve the right to amend their student handbook as they see fit.
A binding contract, defined by Dennis Gregory (2010) is “an agreement between
two or more competent parties.” Additionally, a binding contract is one that can
be upheld by the law. The cases discussed in this article all address issues of
student handbooks as contracts and court cases dealing with the legal issue of
breach of contract.

Keywords: disclaimer; Millien v. Colby College; Drexel University; reservation
clause; in loco parentis; age of majority
