Once their course ends, the account is expired and the student no longer can connect.
If you do go down this route, I strongly recommend you hook up locally with the local http://www.eduroam.org/ outfit if that is an option for you. 802.1X (using PEAP) can be now pre-primed on Windows laptops laptops for free so you can just pass out an installer to the students to get themselves connected: https://su1x.swan.ac.uk/ Believe me, collecting and managing MAC addresses is not something I would wish on anyone.
