Do you receive the full post 9/11 GI Bill BAH during the summer if the term is not full length?

So listed below are my classes that I am taking this summer and I'm trying to figure out if it will impact my BAH that I receive.
Class 1 - 3 SH- 05/01/18 - 05/27/18
Class 2- 3 SH- 05/01/18 - 07/01/18
Class 3- 3 SH- 07/02/18 - 08/05/18
Class 4- 3 SH- 07/02/18 - 08/05/18
So, I am enrolled as FT student for the purpose of the summer semester. However, as you can see, the terms are not exactly full length; it does not cover the entire period of the summer with 4 classes.
My question is, will I receive the full amount of BAH during the summer? or Will I have prorated amount's paid based on how many class's I am taking during the month for which I will be paid? Has anyone experienced this?

Looks like the time you are only doing 3 hours, 28 May to 30 June you are not full time so your BAH will be reduced. It doesn’t matter that your taking an fast pace class- they only count by the length of the class.

Sir,
That's my worry. The classes listed are degree required, I could choose classes that would fill the length of the semester, unfortunately it being a summer semester, it is slim pickings for classes.

It is what it is. Same thing happened to my son. He took an accelerated class and didn’t get full pay.

As long as you are taking at least 3 semester hours within a 30 day window, you should be fine.

Summer classes are to say the least a challenge. To be classified as full time you need 6 credit hours. 12 credit hours for full time in the fall and Winter. So from what I see No it will not affect your BAH. To make sure contact your local veterans office in your area. Generally found in the government section of the phone book. Good Luck and God Bless

SGT(P) (Join to see) , Sgt Jon Mcvay is correct that you need 6 hours per Summer term to be "full time", however, with the dates you listed, from 5/27 - 7/1, you would not be considered "full-time" and it could affect the amount of BAH you receive, especially for the month of June.
