It depends. You are correct that the American Opportunity Credit may be claimed a maximum of 4 times. Whether or not you qualify will likely depend on if you are considered a full-time student for tax purposes. The definition for a full-time student is that you were at least a half-time student for at least 5 months. (If you were a half-time student, the "half-time student" box will be checked). There are other requirements as well, as shown in this FAQ: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5358150
But, if you have yet to have claimed 4 years for the credit, and meet the remaining requirements in the FAQ above, you would be eligible to claim the credit. However, if you don't qualify for the American Opportunity Credit, you may still qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit.
