Graduated Early But No Longer Qualify For Graduate Programs

Hi all,

I am in a tough spot and would like some advice from y'all. I came into my college with 15 credits that did not count towards anything, I was on track to graduate this December 2023. However, when I applied to graduate in December my college did an audit and found that my 15 credits were able to be applied and I was now required to graduate earlier than I had expected. This should be good news but the graduate programs I have been looking at have a graduation requirement of December 2023 or May 2023. Should I apply to these programs regardless and explain my situation? or will my efforts be futile and result in my application being rejected? 

Any advice would be great,

-Thanks
