Will having my graduation pushed back from May to August due to a formality matter for FT?

I’m about to start my final semester, and I have to take a class at a nearby school because it’s not offered at my school this semester. My school’s official policy is that anyone who takes a class at another school during their final semester graduates in August and not May to allow for time to process the credit. 
 

For all intents and purposes, I will graduate in May, but my transcripts and everything will say August. Will this matter at all for FT? I already have the offer from my SA and would start in June/July as normal. I’m probably just being paranoid but this wouldn’t affect buyside recruiting either right?
