I tried the solution of selfsimilar but the BaseFormSet didn't work in my Django 1.6.

I followed the steps in: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17478 and the way that worked for me is:

class NewStudentFormSet(BaseFormSet):
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            self.user = kwargs.pop('user',None)
            super(NewStudentFormSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
            for form in self.forms:
                form.empty_permitted = False

        def _construct_forms(self):
            if hasattr(self,"_forms"):
                return self._forms
            self._forms = []
            for i in xrange(self.total_form_count()):
                self._forms.append(self._construct_form(i, user=self.user))

            return self._forms

        forms = property(_construct_forms)
