if your institution is anything like mine, you might be able to do this without officially moving to part-time status, by postponing milestones.
(I don't know how they do things where you are; at my place, there's a 'transfer of status' after 3 terms which can be moved as late as 5 terms)
so informally - in terms of what your work plans are with your supervisor - you could be working at part-time levels, towards a further-away deadline; but it won't make any official changes to your enrollment, entitlements, etc.
