Can I defer confirmed admission from one university for fall and attend another university for the spring session?

[Aman_Sachan]

I got admitted to University A which was my first choice based on available admits for the fall. I got my VISA also approved and my classes start in 2 weeks. All I need to do is travel.

What are my options now as I wish to attend University B? Please advise.
