How many months must my dependent child be a full time student to be claimed as a dependent? She lived with me the entire year

At least 1 day in each of 5 different months. So being a full time student in the spring semester only (Jan to May) or fall semester only (Sept to Dec) counts.

Is this just for college or is high school included also.

The 5 month rule does not apply if the child was under age 19 on 12/31/2017.
