class completion required for education credit?

[Kea]

Client is a 2nd year freshman and signed up for 2 classes. Then she got sick and dropped one of them. Even though she stayed in the 2nd class, she didn't actually complete it. Is she still eligible for lifetime learning credit? I don't think she can get Hope credit since she was no longer a 1/2 time student after dropping a class. (The 1098-T does check the 1/2 time box, though.)

FYI -- Box 2 shows the amount for the 2nd class and a portion of the 1st (dropped) class. Box 1 is $0 even though the loan company paid the amount in 2007. It's my experience that the 1098-T is not always accurate. (It is a loan, not a grant.)

Thanks!
