Reinstatement allows you the opportunity to regain valid F-1 status and have the mistakes you made corrected by USCIS. You may be eligible for reinstatement on some particular circumstances. You should meet with your University's International Student Advisor to determine your eligibility. Otherwise, you will have to depart the U.S. And be readmitted on valid F-1.

You may be able to apply for reinstatement of F-1 status to continue your studies by getting enrolled in another school and then submitting your new I-20 along with form I-539 to USCIS.
