Any advice I fund my final semester of BCom Accounting?

I’m a final-year BCom Accounting student, and this year has honestly been really difficult. I went from being an A student with distinctions to failing three modules in my first semester, and unfortunately, I’ve now lost my bursary.
I’ve worked way too hard to get this far to deregister, and I only need funding for one semester next year to finish my degree. I also don’t really have work experience, so I’m not sure where to start when it comes to finding a job or other ways to fund myself.
I’m not looking to dwell on what happened or feel sorry for myself. I’m taking accountability and just want to find a way forward.
If you were in my position, what would you do? Where would you look for funding for one semester, part-time work, graduate opportunities, or any other options that could help me finish my degree?
(,I’d really appreciate any response honestly)

Art Major Looking to Switch to Accounting? Masters for Non-Business Majors?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking into making a hard pivot into accounting by going for a Master of Science in Accounting (MSA / MAcc).

My situation:

Undergrad: Totally unrelated non-business background (BFA). I actually enjoy math and logic-based work much more than writing essays, but I have zero formal accounting prerequisites right now.

My main questions/concerns:

Is it actually doable for career switchers? For anyone who jumped into an MSA without a business undergrad, how brutal was the learning curve? Did you do prerequisite "leveling" courses at a community college first, or go through a MAcc program specifically built for non-accounting majors?

Workload & pace: How intense are graduate level accounting classes when you're coming in fresh without a finance or business foundation?

Recruiting & CPA path: Once you graduated, did having an MSA + unrelated undergrad put you on equal footing for entry level accounting roles / CPA eligibility compared to people who had a traditional 4-year accounting degree?

Would love to hear from anyone who pulled off a similar pivot or made the jump into accounting from a non-traditional background. Any program recommendations or reality checks are appreciated!
