    I hope someone can help me here. My son is in his final year in UL and is suffering from severe depression and feels he cannot go on to finish his 4 year degree course. Our GP agrees that he is severely depressed and has advised him to take a year out to try to address his mental health issues by getting appropriate professional treatment.

    He feels that he cannot finish the remainder of 4th year and would like to take time out and go back to do 4th year again in September 2016 when hopefully he is in a better place.

    Can someone advise as to how he can exit from 4th year now and still retain the option of repeating 4th year next year and retaining his grades achieved to date, does UL provide an option to take this kind of break for medical reasons? Any advice appreciated.

    S
