Hi, I was a full time student from Jan 1 to May 14th. Can I still put "yes" for the full time student for at least 5 months?

Yes, you can. Generally speaking, you are considered as a full-time student you are enrolled in a school for the number of hours or courses considered by the school to be full-time during some part of at least 5 calendar months during the year. 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, you will check YES to the question on the screen. Make sure to check with your school's registrar office to be sure.
