What does "online application" mean ??
If this is a web based applicating (i.e. http served) then you
should look into implementing ADFS in its v1 incarnation that
released as a part of Windows Server 2003 R2
Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is designed for
exactly the scenario you have described (assuming web application
as that is all that v1 supports), including leaving the responsibility
for authentication of students and of authorization for them to use
the application with their respective organizations. The host realm
of a resource makes a policy agreement with the accessing realms
that grants them the responsibility over access control using their
AD credentials.
