Medical Leave Question...

Hello,

I’m a student at Penn. I’ll make this as short as possible- I’m thinking that I’m going to have to take a medical leave of absence for the semester. This would not be my first medical leave. I’ve been really sick for a few months now and it’s not abating so after I speak with my doctor, I’m going to pursue this leave.

However, I am worried that because I’ve taken a leave before, the school may not approve this leave or may end up ‘kicking me out’ of school if I take a leave… and I cannot lose my place at Penn.

Anyone have any experience with this? Does anyone think Penn would terminate a student’s enrollment if they had to take a semester for medical reasons?

Any advice appreciated.
