You are not, unfortunately. For education tax credit purposes, the school must be a qualified school at the time you are claiming education expenses and the credit. 

 A qualified school is any college, university, or other post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program Administered by the U.S. Department of Education.
