Concussion - recovery and studying

Poor DD19 got concussed following a sporting injury a few weeks ago and is really struggling to get back to her studies due to ongoing fatigue. Uni is being quite supportive but she's missed a tonne of lectures and they are concerned she won't catch up. She has no pain or headaches any more, but she does a day or two and is then wiped out for a couple of days. Just looking to link with anyone who might have supported a young adult through this type of injury. They are talking of her deferring for a year, as the more she misses, the more there is to do. Really sad for her and I don't know what to suggest. I worry she's pushing herself more than her body can take but I know she's desperate to carry on.

As PPs have said it's quite common to take up to 3 months to recover from concussion. It is actually a head injury she's had and sports should have HI protocols.
I'd advise her to pace herself and balance all her activities evenly across the week, taking care to avoid boom and bust.

I hope she feels better soon
