A full-time student is a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses that the school considers to be full-time attendance.

Does your 1098-T say that you are at least a half-time student by a check mark in box 8? If yes, then you are considered a full-time student.

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, you will check YES to the question on the screen.
