We do have some guidance on this.
From the Guru Q&A:
There is some amount of progression that occurs for Sims already enrolled in university that are rotated away from. Unplayed Sims will finish their term and re-enroll, eventually graduating. Played Sims will finish their term but wait to re-enroll until the player rotates back to them. All Sims progressing in this way will earn an “average” grade while doing so.
Any students who you have enrolled will progress to finish their term with an average grade if you rotate away from them. They’re not penalized for missing class when you are not playing them. If you want multiple dorm households, you can rotate between them during the same term. You might want to do this strategically since putting a lot of effort in, while knowing this could be the household you won’t have active at the end of term could be pointless. Maybe if you stagger when they begin the terms (dorm 1 started Tues, dorm 2 started Friday) it gives you more control. Something to play around with.
Keep in mind that students can only live in dorms/uni housing while they are enrolled in a term at university. Once they complete the term, an event timer starts (don’t know how long it is) and they have to pack up and move out. Maybe if you have them re-enroll right away, this can be avoided. Still need to work out the details. Worst case scenario, they will appear in your Played Households bin that’s for households “not in world”. They should still be available to invite over and you might see them around, but I would be surprised if they maintain their memberships in uni organizations.
This sounds like I will have to have all current university students in the same house and play them until graduation if I want to experience everything. Not what I was hoping for, but it is what it is.
Either that, or leave some in limbo “not in world” while you focus on the others. Or have them live in regular housing so they’re not kicked out between terms and just play each through a complete term each rotation.
