Is it possible to postpone graduation date by a year after you transfer?

UC

I understand that this is strange and that people usually want to push forward their graduation date and not backward lol

I want to pursue either consulting or investment banking after I transfer, but the recruiting for those happen in the spring semester of sophomore year, which I would miss if I transfer this admission cycle (since I'd transfer with junior status).

I understand you can only take 1 extra semester after transferring at UCs but is there any way I could push my graduation date back by a year if I transfer this cycle?

If I decided to take a gap semester as well as extend my undergraduate by the 1 semester the UCs permit post-transfer, would I be able to have class of 2029 status? Since technically my last semester at the university would be the last semester for co29 students as well.
