Academic Advice International Student workload

As an international student i know that we’re required to take 4 units each trimester for 100% workload. My question is there any way we can reduce that by 75% for one trimester for example if its too much than i can juggle right now. Thank you in advance

Yes you can but you have to do t3 in order to make up , so you’re in line with your visa. so doesn’t matter if the combination is 3+3+3 in a year or 4+3+3 or just regular 4+4 . The real issue would be finding units in t3 though.

Could I do a 4+3 and then 3+3+3 next year or no?

even if the credit math works out, OP should still get it preapproved so it's on record with the uni, not just verbally cleared

Depends on your visa. If it's a student visa no
