Generally speaking, you are considered as a full-time student if you enroll in school for at least five months in 2019. However, each school defines "full time" in its own way (usually in terms of the number of courses or hours). If you are considered as a full-time student by your school, and if you are taking a full-time course load for January to April, you are a full-time student for tax purposes. Make sure to check with your school's registrar office to be sure.

It sounds like it's only a four -month courses program? Are you pursuing a degree or what kind of program were you in?

It was just the last semester of my college career. Graduated with a bachelors degree.
