How to Write a Deferment Letter?
A deferment letter for college admissions follows a structured format, with an introduction including name and address, and the reason for requesting deferment, such as travel plans or illness. Most colleges and universities grant deferments to students when students demonstrate valid reasons for deferment. Students may pose letters for deferment to school admissions departments in handwritten notes or through emails.
As with most professional letters, deferment applications begin with an introduction. This section contains the student’s name, contact information and mailing address. Students also include the date, along with date of previously anticipated enrollment, and day of expected enrollment, provided the admissions staff grants deferment request. Following the introduction is a brief statement summarizing the student’s reasons for requesting deferment.
