As Cygwin is a volunteer project with limited resources (the .com is a remnant of when it used to be part of Cygnus then RedHat), and support is only by email to subscribers to the mailing list from subscribers (OP CCed as they are unlikely to be subscribed), it seems unsuitable for either registering or supporting a population of hundreds to thousands of students. Software packages are only available from public mirrors listed on https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html, so perhaps they could set up a public mirror as described on that page, including the website and setup programs, or a local private mirror from a nearby public mirror, and provide local support like most universities do. Not sure who would even be able to give permission for linking - someone in the sourceware.org hosting umbrella organization for these projects must have some authority? -- Take care.
