If you are going to use a Profile model to extend User model like we did in class and you already have some User objects in the db, first you may want to create respective Profile objects for existing users:

$ python manage.py shell
> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
> from mysite.core.models import Profile
> users = User.objects.filter(profile=None)
> for user in users:
>     Profile.objects.create(user=user)

Check this comment on the tutorial.

If you are planning to leave your grading to make-up exam, you still need to show me some progress (i.e. adapting a template, defining your model in code) on your demo date so that I can enter a grade for your final exam that will qualify you for makeup. Another thing to consider, you'll be able to get at most DC after make-up even if your project would deserve higher normally. I believe and can convince you that make-ups are unfair inherently so that's my policy in all of my courses.

For your make-up exam you can come to my office and show your project on 11.01 (Thursday) between 10:30 and 15:00. No need to take an appointment.
