I was a student at Saarland University. I arrived late for the semester because of some visa problems in my home country. Upon arrival I already had a backlog of 1.5 months and my exams were in a time period of two months. All this pressure didn't go well with my mental health. I had already been taking therapy for my anxiety/panic attacks in my home country and the academic pressure worsened my condition. So, I thought the best course of action would be take a semester break and work on my health so that I can better tackle my studies in the next semester.
I mailed my course coordinator regarding the my condition and my desire to opt for a semester break, to which she replied and asked me to apply for a semester break with a doctor's note, which would state that I am not fit to study for this semester.
For a list of reasons, like not having a housing contract and therefore my heath insurance not being activated, and the waiting time for a psychoanalysis in Germany (a few months) I couldn't provide them the doctor's note and within a matter of one month, I was excluded from the university without any warnings. I have been trying to present my case to them for the past few months but unfortunately have had no luck.
My visa is also about to expire, but what concerns me is my health condition so invisible to the institute that I will be excluded from the university I've tried so hard to get into?
What can I do to fight my case and get back into my university? I don't know what action, legal or otherwise, I can take now.
Thanking you in advance
