Will course load be reduced (not by a big amount but by a slight amount) in order to accommodate the stressful times worldwide right now?

You may be able to take a reduced load, though requirements for part-time studies may vary by program. Please discuss with your academic advisor. 

We understand that this is a stressful time for students. There are also many supports available to help students with adjusting to the new online environment. Please visit our Current Students webpage for learning resources as well as mental health and wellness supports.
