If you were a full tine student for the year you cannot qualify for the Saver's Credit.  It looks at the entire tax year.

You can not override it. Being a FT student for 5 months disqualifies you for the savers credit for the entire year.

 

For tax purposes, the  definition of Full Time Student include the (parts of) 5 months requirement.
