Yes, you qualify.  A full time student is defined by the IRS as follows:

  • Full-time student. A full-time student is a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses the school considers to be full-time attendance. The 5 calendar months don't have to be consecutive or a full month.  Specifically some part of 5 different months.
