If his parents got them for him, that would imply they had faith in his ability to be a student at Beacon, which at the very least Jaune doesn't seem to think they have. He says as much in the episode where Pyrrha mentions her destiny and all that, that his parents told him not to worry if he had to come home.

Also if it was his parents, and they're supposedly from a family filled with heroes and whatnot, I would assume they would have other ways to get Jaune into Beacon than something illegal.
