HALLS LICENCE AGREEMENT (offer of accommodation)

Options
My son is waiting to receive his A level results and find out if he has high enough grades to be accepted at his first choice university which is a conditional offer. However due to the university requiring him to reserve accommodation before the 18th of June and therefore before he receives his A levels, he has accepted the 'offer of accommodation'.  We would like to know if he does not get the grades required and is rejected by the university, will he still have to pay for the accommodation. Common sense tells me he wont have to pay anything but the HALLS LICENCE AGREEMENT states it is legally binding and makes it sound like once he has signed the agreement he would still have to pay even if he does not get a place.

    I very much doubt that the university would offer accommodation in their own halls for anyone other than their own students. 
    Either phone the accommodation office to check or tell us which university and someone may know.
