✅

You should first save new_user instance and then assign it in new student instance.

Relevant code

@login_required(login_url='')
def enroll(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserForm(request.POST,)
        form2 = StudentCreate(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid() and form2.is_valid():
            new_user = form.save(commit=False)
            new_user.save() #form.save() should also work rather than this 2 statements

            new_student = form2.save(commit=False)
            new_student.user = new_user #assign user instance, not username

            new_student.save()
