"We handle dozens of medical leave applications each semester. Previously each letter required two days of drafting and legal review. This tool produces correctly worded, consistent deferral letters in under five minutes."

★★★★★

"The credit retention clause and mandatory return date fields are exactly what students and academic departments need to understand in writing. We no longer receive disputes about what was agreed at the time of the deferral."

"The financial hardship deferral type has the right language for bursary and financial aid offices. The conditions block lets us include instalment repayment schedules without needing a separate addendum."

★★★★★

"Students receive a clearly worded, professionally formatted letter on the same day they submit their application. The voluntary interruption option is particularly useful for students taking industry gaps before final year."
