I was enrolled as a full-time student in 2011 and 2012 working towards a bachelor's degree. I then stopped attending and resumed as a part-time student at another institution in 2013, 2014, and 2017. I just completed my associate's degree in 2017. I have taken advantage of the American Opportunity Credit in two prior years. Am I eligible for the American Opportunity Credit in 2017 assuming I meet income requirements?
