Would probably benefit from a better naming... Something like
StudentForm. Also you could use a ModelForm...

You a have "Student" model class in student.models, don't you ? Now
guess what the name "Student" is bound to at this point - your model
or your form ?

As a general rule, "from <module> import *" is a bad practice, as it
leads to this kind of problems - one name shadowing another.
