Hi Ron can I have the procedure for creating topology pool and assigning that to single said. and what about the switch port to which ap is connected, will it carry all those multiple vlans.....

There are different methods but it depend on what you want to do with a single SSID and many VLANs.

1) single SSID to assign different roles (=topology, policy, ACL) to clients
This will allow you to seperate the mobile clients and also assign different roles i.e. student VLAN#10 & could only access the internet, staff VLAN#20 and could access everything

You'd do that with RADIUS as mentioned before but I prefer to use Netsight NAC.

2) single SSID with different topology (VLANs) to have more/smaller broadcast domains
There is a new feature in v9.21 that allows to create a topology pool (which include many topolgies) and clients get assigned i.e. round-robin to a different topology

Yes you can.

There are several ways to accomplish that. You can use Radius authentication and return back filter attributes for specific users, mapping them to a specific VLAN.

These threads discuss that, including a video that will also assist:

In addition, without Radius authentication, you can create multiple Virtual Network Services (VNS) that are mapped to multiple WLAN Services. Each WLAN service can contain the same SSID name, but would be mapped to different access points. This allows you to direct users to different VLAN's depending on what AP they connect too.
