I still haven’t really understood your question but this might help you.
In your models.py 

course_name = ('English', 'Maths',)
from model_utils import Choices
class Course(models.Model):
    course_document = models.ForeignKey(Document,null=True,blank=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255, choices=Choices(*course_name))
    subject = models.CharField(max_length = 255)

This will create a drop down menu for choosing courses.

choices should be a CharField, with a choices argument. The value of the choices argument is a tuple with 2 items in it. The first is a value for you to access if you need it. The second value is what the User sees. So”

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    courses = forms.CharField(max_length=255, choices=(
        ('1', 'First Course'),
        ('2', 'Second Course')
        )
    )

Here is the Django Docs for this:
