I would suggest against using Moodle and other online tools to complete college. They are nowhere near the live experience. Since you seem to be in the UK, a letter from NHS might convince school...
If surgery is your chosen option, you will need to take time off school though. Talk to your doctor about a reasonable recovery schedule and speak with school administration. I had a friend who quit...

You need to get bi-weekly CBC blood tests when on Allopurinol + Imuran. Do not forget to do this! I was in the hospital for a week this month because the combination effectively shut down my bone...
50mg and 25mg with Allopurinol was not helping. I am still in the middle of a flare.My doctor says that there is more data available on Humira but he gave me the option and thats why I asked....
So the combination of 75mg Imuran + Allopurinol put me in a neutropenia + fever + low hemoglobin. I've been a guest of Mt Sinai for a week now. I've recovered considerably and expect to be discharged...
