Sweetie, just a thought, have you asked them on what legal grounds they have asked you to defer for medical reasons? Often Universities as part of their insurance, have a 'duty of care" scenario.......if they feel that you are in danger for ANY reason whether psychologically, physically or otherwise, they have duty of care to deny you access to the uni, study or anything that may exacerbate the problem.......because in our libelous age, you have recourse to sue(as they are aware of your situation) if they did not help you and your condition gets worse.

I was in my first semester of my Bachelor of Science when I landed in my trusty psych unit for 3 weeks.......my psych reg contacted the uni, at my insistence and had my degree deferred.......they were very supportive.......I DID NOT want to give up my degree, but I didn't feel I had any choice......know that if you give yourself a break, you CAN go back......

In saying that, you CAN fight tooth and nail to get answers......I don't know if you have necessarily been discriminated against(only you know the "tone" of the dialogue) but it sounds like her motivations are to protect the University from possible future legal action.

I hope you get the answers you need, sweetie.......there is nothing like feeling like you are up against a big machine.......been there a few times!!

In stillness.......
