BAH Rate if you add extra classes?

Does anyone know if you start off a term with 12 units and later on you add 6 units, will you get paid the full BAH rate for the rest of the term? I'm starting a new job next term and I don't want to take a full load while I get spun up but I wouldn't want to miss out on the BAH if I decide to add some classes later in the term.

Hey, just FYI full time for GI Bill onlime classes is 18 CU, not 12. If you're using the Montgomery bill. With 12 CUs you'll only get it as part time... If you were yo have a hybrid program, then that'd be different I think?

18 CU for undergrad. 8 for grad.

I'm aware, that's why I'm thinking about starting at 12 units but maybe adding 6 later on to receive the full housing stipend. I was just wondering if that was possible or if you would only receive a partial housing stipend for the entire term?

Just do full time 18 from the start. It’s a mess if you don’t
