University student's only except special circumstances, like the following:
Players can be considered for eligibility for other university teams under special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Exceptions are only made for players from unusually small schools (total student population <5000) that have a strong affiliation with the larger university, such as a community college with a direct feeder program to a nearby 4-year university.
Isn't that only if you want to play for a different institution? ie one your college has ties with? That's how I read that exception.
