January through March is 3 months, not 5. Many colleges use semesters which would be Jan - May. You would have to go two quarters at least half time to make the 5 month mark. However, because it is a quarter, you may have been able to use the tuition on your 2018 return since it was paid in 2018. Since it was paid in Nov 2018, If you did not claim it, you should.
If you paid in 2019,three months would make you ineligible for AOTC for 2019 but not lifetime learning. You can use the AOTC when you do qualify.
See What expenses qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit? Although, it does not sound like you have more than books and supplies for 2019.
