Taking Weekend class and deferring graduation while starting full time role

Hi everyone, I’m a semester away from graduating and am nervous I won’t be able to bring my GPA up to a 3.5 before I graduate. I’ve accepted a full time position starting in February and was wondering if I would be able to enroll in Private Piano lessons meetings on weekends and deferring my graduation while at the same time starting at my full time role. I’m not sure if positions usually require confirmation that you have graduated before you start, but if I was able to take this one class on the weekends and hold off on getting my diploma until the end of the Spring, that would be a lifesaver. Thanks everyone!

If you can't bring your GPA up right now, you definitely can't do it while juggling a full time job.
