Agreed. Your advisor doesn't have the right to dictate what you can and cannot take. If they've put an actual hold on the class that prevents you from registering, go over their head to the chair of the department or the seen.

You have the opportunity to take the course in the spring but, your adviser believes you do not want to even though you have told them repeatedly you want to. They dropped you from the program and said you can't take courses from that selection anymore only because of a health problem.
