Are you sure it's actually the Child Tax Credit and not the Credit for Other Dependents?  They would appear on the same line of the Form 1040 that says Line 12a - Child tax credit/credit for other dependents and your college dependent would likely be eligible.

Are you sure you didn't make a typo on his/her birthday?
