Education
Based on the information provided, your father cannot claim you as a dependent because you don't meet the tests for either a "qualifying child" or a "qualifying relative". That is based on the assumption that you provided more than half your support, and the fact that you earned more than $4,200.
If you didn't provide more than half you support, you would qualify as a qualifying child if you are "temporarily away from home at college". But if you don't live at home when you are not at college, you wouldn't meet that test.
Table 5 from IRS Publication 501 is a good overview of what it takes to claim a dependent.
