Legal Question in Medical Leave in California

I have been placed on paid administrative leave for an audit of my department's university housing files. Am I able to request stress leave through my doctor while I am on paid administrative leave since my employer said that they will make a determination about my employment status in five calendar days (specifically stated in my letter received today). Your help is greatly appreciated.
