I had a pretty complicated college history. I transferred to a small college after spending a year gathering credits at two colleges in NYC. For the two colleges in NYC, I also took high school and summer courses.
Not all of my credits transferred and while I walked with my 2015 class in May, I ended up finishing my coursework in December 2015. Since then, my resume has said "BA December 2015". However, I recently submitted a form for a background check and this was marked as a discrepancy. It turns out that my college had done away with midyear degrees, stating they would only be issued at the end of the school year and my actual graduation date was May 2016.
At this point, I was working full time and had walked with my 2015 class. It honestly never occured to me that I was part of the 2016 class. Do you think this is grounds to rescind an offer? I'm super nervous.

Hiring managers are not are not looking for the slightest discrepancy for which to rescind your offer. They are looking for outright and intentional lies, deceptions, misrepresentations, etc. Your scenario doesn't appear to be a deliberate act on your part to misrepresent yourself.
What you've stated seems like a simple mistake or misunderstanding and should be easily and adequately explained.

You've got your degree, and you'd finished your coursework by the date that you gave, and they're the things that will matter most. While it has been flagged, it's basically just an administrative discrepancy that may warrant further investigation.
At worst, I'd think that you might be asked to produce some more paperwork, and you should probably correct your resume so that this doesn't come up in future, but I'd be extremely surprised if it were to cost you a job.
