Your situation sounds really hard. I'm not sure if it was me that I would go for only 8 sessions just to say good-bye again. I think I'd hold close to my heart the fact that she was willing to bend the rules and see me, and let that be a sweet way to close things.
That said, if you decide to see her for the 8 sessions, I think it would be helpful to set a concrete goal for the short time and work on that and on saying good-bye and letting go. It could be that you could use these sessions to tell her everything you want/need to and really feel like you have no regrets, other than termination itself.
I've said it before, University therapy seems really hard in its "ready or not" the semester is over.
