Qualifications to be a full time college student

So for the Spring Semester of 2016, I was a full time college student. Then I graduated that semester. Would I still be considered full time for 2015 even though I didn't go the entire year because I completed my education?

Most likely, you are considered a full-time student if you attended an eligible school full-time (based on their guidelines) for at least five months throughout the year.

I completed a semester of school in 2017 but the semester started 1/17 and ended with graduation on 5/13. Just want to confirm that I would not be considered a full time student in 2017.
