Generally speaking, yes, a full time student may be denied unemployment benefits. IF they pass all ordinary requirements, such as length of previous employment, earnings, etc. they must be ready, willing, and able to go to work immediately and full time, if work presented itself, and most students could not, due to class schedules, etc.

In just about all cases, you have to have left your job through no fault of your own (fired, laid off, reduced work force, work conditions, etc.) and if you just quit you're not eligible. Some states may have training programs but you need to check with the individual state's laws. The Related Links below lets you find your state and all applicable rules and laws on unemployment. Unemployment also requires you be available for work and most determine a student is not.

It is unlikely because to qualify, a student must be ready, willing, and able to start immediately on a full time job that he must have been seeking. A student generally does not have the flexibility to convince the unemployment office he can do that.

If the lay off was allowable by the state you work in and you are able to comply with all the post laid off requirements (ready, willing, able, and seeking ,on a full time basis, full time employment), you should be able to qualify. Historically, however, full time students aren't generally able to meet those requirements.
