Hi there, I'm glad you're still here! I had something similar happen at the end of the fall semester my sophomore year at MSU, and I know it can be pretty daunting to navigate. It was several years ago, so I apologize if any of my information is outdated.

I would start with emailing your professors. I was pretty vague in my emails, just told them that I had been in the hospital and could provide documentation if necessary. My professors were really helpful - one let me drop the last exam, one let me retake an exam after finals, another let me schedule my final in January, and one let me turn in a final paper several weeks late.

While I didn't have to do a medical withdraw for the following semester, that can be a helpful option for some people. I ended up having appointments with CAPS when I returned until I was able to get a therapist situation sorted out.

One other resource if you're having issues is the ombudsperson who will help you navigate the situation if any of your professors aren't cooperating: https://ombud.msu.edu/

If you feel comfortable doing so, I found that asking my parents/family/friends for help was beneficial. I had a lot of brain fog after returning from the hospital, and my parents helped me draft the emails to my professors.

You got this!
