Is there a way to spread student loan interest deductions?

With my wife and I having personal loans now, we paid off a very large amount of student loan interest this year. Is there some way to spread this out over a few years, or do we just have to eat it?

It's capped anyway. It being capped, I doubt there is any provision in shifting, other than working out an arrangement with your servicer to hold that last payment of the year until January 1st, but you'd just have the same problem the following year.
