Should I delay graduation to get an accounting co-op? Looking for advice.

I'm an accounting student, and I'm feeling a bit stuck.
I transferred universities late, and my previous GPA also prevented me from meeting the co-op requirements earlier. Because of that, I only became eligible for co-op last semester, but I still haven't been able to secure an accounting internship.
Now I'm trying to decide what to do. Should I just graduate without co-op experience, or should I delay my graduation by another year to keep applying for co-op positions?
For those of you who graduated without getting an accounting co-op or internship, were you still able to land your first accounting job after graduation? How long did it take you to get your first one without coop experience?

I'd really appreciate hearing about you all experiences or any advice. Thanks

Plan before graduation

I haven't been able to find an internship yet. I'm thinking of finishing all of my remaining courses except for two. After this semester, I wouldn't take any more classes and would just focus on finding an internship. Once I complete the internship, I'd come back, take my last two courses, and then graduate. Would that be possible?

Hi everyone, I did some research and found that if I repeat a course, the new grade will replace the old one. However, after retaking it, even though I got the same grade, it still seems to count the old credit.

I’m not sure if this is because the system hasn’t updated yet, or if both credits will be counted (so 6 credits in total instead of 3).

I’m feeling really anxious right now. I’ve already booked an appointment with an advisor, but I just wanted a quick answer if possible.
