You can use Bassline WinPopUp receive only version. It has no user
interfaces to send, but with complete receiving facilities. (Actually,
executable of this version has no code to send, to prevent cracking to
enable sending capability)

Install receive-only version to students' machines, full featured
version to admins'.
