At UPOU, you do not need to request permission to underload (i.e., enrolling less than the regular load). Feel free to take fewer courses; you do not need anyone's permission to switch to being a part-time student. (You do however need permission to overload). Remember to register for Residency or Leave of Absence if you intend to take no courses at all during a term.
Do keep in mind that underloading may affect impact your ability to finish within your Maximum Residency Requirement (MRR). It might also impact your chances of Graduating with Honors.
