To get better info we need to know following things:

How long has it been since he is out of status?

After taking the semester off did the student returned to the school or not? If Yes, Does he have any document that proves he was in school ?

Did he applied for CPT  (Internship) on his own or from school as student needs to have permission from school for CPT??

If the SEVIS is terminated then only way to start is by readmission process. He have to apply to the school again and the school will send him new I-20 and start a new SEVIS record. He can use his previous credits and just go on as normal student after that.
He may need to leave the country and re-enter as a re-admission. In that case going to Canada and coming back seems the best option.
