Prior to posting my question I searched the site and found this answer - 

If he/she was a student (under 24) for at least 5 months and lived with you for more than half the year, and did not provide more than 1/2 his own support for the whole year, you can still claim him.

 

That's the reason for my confusion, did this change for 2021?

 


The 5 months refers to being a full time student for 5 months during the year.  The age of the student must be under the age of 24 during the year to claim them under the Qualifying Child rules.
