These are not full time students on campus at a traditional university, but working adults going to school at a private for-profit university at night. I'm hard to help, aren't I? :-)
You could create a mail action that automatically filters any email received at this address to a special "Univeristy" folder. The benefit of this approach is that you then wouldn't have to worry how your students decide to contact you -- school or work accounts, text or html -- since they would all be using an address that no one outside the university would know about. And as long as you clicked the "Stop mail actions if criteria are met" checkbox on this mail action, you wouldn't have to worry about your spam filters accidentally targeting these emails. You would, however, need to place this mail action higher than your spam filters to ensure Emailer ran it first.
This assumes that your university address never receives spam, and that you don't publicize it outside the university. However, if your university address is already receiving spam, or starts to receive it in the future, it should be easy enough to get a new address from the university's system admin if you explain to him that spammers are making it difficult for you to conduct business with your current address.
