I’d chat with your Cicso SE to see what they have cooking on the location-aware 
front.

If you want the hammer, I suspect you could use radius and AAA override to 
place the student into a more restrictive network during those hours. You’d 
need something that could hand out the override based on time of day. It would 
also require authentication of some sort. Once you get them there, instead of 
using something cumbersome like firewalling, I’d use something like Cisco’s 
OpenDNS Umbrella - it does content filtering via DNS requests e.g. Click the 
“streaming services” filter, and it will send users to a “this site is blocked” 
page.

But I do agree with others that this is really just an academic exercise as the 
student(s) will simply move to their cellular connection.
