Taking A Course And Then Dropping It Months Later? Effect on Full Time Status?

Slightly unorthodox situation. What if a student has to be enrolled in 3 courses to classify as full time. That student then registers in 3 courses for the next semester. Then months later, just before the next semester begins, he is able to find a seat in one more course that he wants to take, so he registers in that right before the semester starts (late registration). After registering in this new course, he drops one of the previously registered courses. So he would first go from being registered in 3 courses to being registered in 4 courses in total. And then drop one, and return to be back in 3.

But that's the total courses. The initial courses he registered for (non-late registration) was always 3. So he would now be only taking 2 of those initial courses, and now a new late registered course.

Would this have an effect on full time status? Or are the courses taken only counted on the first day of class? So it doesn't matter when you register or drop as long as you have 3 courses by the first day of classes?
