If you do have a relapse, do not panic. If you need time to go home and rest - even if this takes many months - make sure you or your family contact all the relevant people at your university. You must contact your personal tutor and take advice from them. They will let you know who else will need to be involved.
Contact your local education authority to discuss what will happen to your fees. If you are receiving any other allowances or benefits make sure you contact the appropriate offices to update them on your situation and discuss what happens next.
Stay in touch with the university whilst you are away. You will need to let them know what you intend to do so that any relevant applications for your study, accommodation and financial support can be made by the deadlines.
If you think you have made the wrong choice as regards university or courses - maybe the course did not suit you, you are too far away from your family, you are unhappy with the support you are getting - do not think you are stuck there. Many people change institutions or courses for different reasons. Talk to your personal tutor about your feelings and do some research on other institutions or courses that interest you.
If you feel that studying from home is the best way forward for you then you might consider Distance Learning.
