How can I register multiple users from SL course, sitting on the same ip address?

Each student must register on their own for a SL account.  Having the same IP address should not be a problem if they are using their own information, and email address.  It  is against the TOS for you to create an account and give it to someone else.

Edited to add:
If the reason you want to create the accounts for your students is to control them more, you may want to take a look at the Registration API . Students are registered through your own website and are restricted to your location.  No IM's or searching the 'outside' world.  The drawback is you need your own private sim to do that.  But if you have one, it may be the solution.

The challenge, as you noted, is that you can't register more than 5 accounts from the same IP address without special permission.  Amethyst's solution may be your easiest way out this time, although it means your students will all be coming in world at random places and without your guidance.  Linden Lab has always facilitated class enrollments in the past, but they need lead time. Frankly, it has been a while since I followed the last conversations about the process, but if you post a query in the SLED group, you will get guidance from faculty who have done it before.
