I really don't think you've got a leg to stand on.
You're putting up completed homework assignments, and from your school's policy on the same, we have (emphasis mine):
Your university'll probably tell you to take the code off and warn you how you violated their academic misconduct rules. It's just the way these things work.
Now, be that as it may, it seems to me that your best chance is to argue that those rules only apply while you're actually in the class. Now that you're done with them, your works have just as much right to be out there on the Internet as anybody else's BST and heap and whatnot. I mean, how many GPLed shells are out there alone? :>
I wish you the best of luck, and I think it was definitely the smart thing to do to bring this issue to the university's attention before it comes back to haunt you, but I really don't think you're going to have much luck changing anybody's mind.

Academic honesty and integrity lie at the heart of any educational enterprise. Students are expected to do their own work and neither to give nor to receive assistance during quizzes, examinations, or other class exercises.
