WAT student here: university refused leave, employer rejected due to late start — what are my options?

My university refused to approve leave/deferred exams for my WAT program, so the earliest date I can arrive in the US is July 22. Because of this, my host employer rejected my placement due to the late start date.

I already passed the employer interview and completed most of the process, so this is really frustrating 😭

I’m under CIEE sponsorship. Is there still any way for me to continue participating in the program? Has anyone experienced something similar before?

Also, is it possible to find a new host employer by myself (self-placement) for late July arrival? Any advice or experience would really help. Thank you!
