Do I count as a full time student if I graduated at the end of the Spring semester?

According to publication 17, you are a full-time student if you are enrolled at a school for the number of hours or classes that the school considers full time. You must be full-time for some part of each of 5 calendar months during the year. This means even if you were a full time student for just one day of the month, the month counts.  If you were a full time student (taking a full time course load) for Jan - May, you would be considered a full time student for tax purposes.
