I am an international student and my English listening is not very good, sometimes when my classmates who have a heavy accent talks to me I can not understand them at all. How do I say "sorry I don't understand your accent" without sounding rude?

Just say "I'm sorry, I didn't understand you. Your accent is hard for me to hear." Say it with a smile and they won't think its rude.

Say it just like that. It's not rude if you can't understand their accent.

The way you said it is fine, just make sure you use a polite tone in your voice and be sincerer about it.
