College Credit Question

My daughter took a gap year before starting college. She earned over the 4K allowed, and was in college for 1 semester in 2017 (4 months). Turns out I can't claim her as a dependent because she made over 4K and wasn't in school for the 5 month minimum. 

 

I do not qualify for the college credit, (for tuition, books). Can I put the tuition, books on her tax return, (it is for her college education)? She would qualify for the credit.
