[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 186231, member: 2672"] I know I have mentioned this before, but it’s important to avoid contracted words. Not only do they make your document less formal but you are not using them consistently. This will be flagged an as attention to detail issue. I wouldn’t word the mitigating circumstances like you currently have. It’s important to put some context in rather than than using word count up to say you can’t provide details because of lack of word count. You are currently writing 35 words when it could be changed to 35 words to something like the following: [I]My first year university grades were impacted by illness from March to June 2024. My university were aware of the circumstances and further details can be provided if required.[/I] I would also try to build in more outcomes or success into your Well Being and Legal Advisor paragraphs.
