Return offers from internships

Question

Hi I am a penultimate student, I want to ask if a delay in graduation will affect return offers from big tech companies.

I am scheduled to graduate in may 2024 but intend to take Semester Leave of Absence to intern, delaying grad to Dec 2024 and was wondering the above.

never heard anyone refer to themselves as a "penultimate student".

No, just keep your story straight about the internship.  If a company sees you as a great fit, they will go to great lengths to retain you.

Return offers are similar to contracts at the end of the day. If an expectation or presumed condition changes(you don’t graduate at all, you aren’t available to start until later), they can reconsider and there is a real risk that they will given what’s happening.You should try to find a way to get an insider at the company to ask what would happen. If you ask for yourself they’ll pick up on the fact that it’s a choice and give you an answer to make it seem like you don’t have one.
