Extra-curricular activities are not a right, and putting conditions on participation happens all the time. You have to maintain certain GPA levels, etc. It is not an invasion of privacy, because the students have the right to refuse, and they are not denied any of their rights by their refusal - but they may be denied a privilege.

Governmental institutions have no authority to hand out privileges to individuals. It's actually the other way around.

Actually, government cannot hand out rights to anyone, privileges are a separate issue. Are you saying that students should be able to participate in any activity they want, even if they are failing, etc? No restrictions or conditions at all? You are taking the libertarian position to an extreme that is ridiculous.
