You get five calendar years from the time you enroll to participate in four seasons. (note: even if you enroll in spring and your season doesn't end by the end of year 5, you can finish out that season)
That's the normal thing that every NCAA athlete has from the git go.
"Redshirt" just means you (voluntarily) did not participate in one season within any of those five years. Typically it has been used to refer to not participating as a (true) freshman. You don't have to apply or be given approval to do it. It's just automatic. As previously noted, "participation" means you were on the court for a single serve. *poof* You just lost the ability to redshirt for that season.
"Medical redshirt" is really an incorrect term that shouldn't be used. The more proper term is "medical hardship waiver". A hardship waiver has to be applied for and approved. It means that that season doesn't count for you, and your clock extends one year from five years to six. As noted, you have to be below a threshold of 30% of games/matches (rounded in a reasonable way), and those have to be only at the beginning of the season. You can't come back at any later point in time. (there are other various types of hardships recognized as well, beyond season-ending injury)
