To build on Huck's suggestion if the students are all in group 100 (for 
example) you could do something like:

cat /etc/passwd | grep ":100:" | cut -d: -f1 | awk '{print "delete:"$1}'

from the command line

which will give you output similar to:
delete:games
delete:scott
delete:eric
delete:sherial
....

Double check before send the list into webmin - for example because I 
chose :100: as my search criteria,  there is a system account called 
games that is has a userid of 100 and it picked it up as well.
