Since she was a full time student for 5 months she qualifies assuming other requirements are met.

Yes, she can still qualify as your dependent for 2025. The IRS allows a child to be a qualifying child if they were a full-time student for at least part of 5 months during the year and under age 24.

 

As long as she lived with you more than half the year and you provided over half of her support, you can claim her for 2025.
