Q. If im an online student in 2025 does that still count as being a FULL TIME student?

A. Yes, if the school is an accredited institution and you meet the school's rules for being full time.

 

Full-Time Student

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.

To qualify as a student, the person must be, during some part of each of any five calendar months of the year:

1. A full-time student at a school that has a regular teaching staff, course of study, and a regularly enrolled student body at the school, or
2. A student taking a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school described in (1), or by a state, county, or local government agency.

   The five calendar months do not have to be consecutive.
