Were You Working on an Associate, Bachelor's, or Graduate Degree?

I've already graduated college with my bachelor's degree and I'm in the process of applying to grad school. I retook an undergraduate level class that I previously did poorly in, in order to make my graduate school application better. Should I answer yes or no to "Were You Working on an Associate, Bachelor's, or Graduate Degree?"

No.  This question is asking whether you were enrolled in a degree-granting program (matriculated) for the courses for which you claiming a tax credit or deduction.  Taking classes outside of a degree-granting program is still eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit, but the qualification rules are slightly different for matriculated and non-matriculated coursework.
