Is a 4 credit summer class considered half-time in school?

The school determines what is considered half-time. If you were at least half-time, the box in box 8 of your Form 1098-T will be checked, that says "Checked if at least half-time student." If that box is not checked you were not half-time.


It seems unlikely that one 4-credit course would be considered half-time, but again, it's up to the school.
