G.R. No. 156109 | 2004-11-18

Republic of the Philippines
Supreme Court
Manila
 
THIRD DIVISION
 
DECISION
 
PANGANIBAN, J.:

Upon enrolment, students and their school enter upon a reciprocal contract. The students agree to abide by the standards of academic performance and codes of conduct, issued usually in the form of manuals that are distributed to the enrollees at the start of the school term. Further, the school informs them of the itemized fees they are expected to pay. Consequently, it cannot, after the enrolment of a student, vary the terms of the contract. It cannot require fees other than those it specified upon enrolment.
