Under the CARES Act, if you (the student) are claimed, or qualify to be claimed, as a dependent on someone else’s 2019 return you cannot receive a stimulus check, in 2020. If you qualified as a dependent for 2019, but will not be for 2020, you will most likely get it in 2021, when you file a 2020 tax return.
Note that the requirement is not just whether you are actually claimed as a dependent, it's whether you qualify to be claimed as a dependent.
The Nondependent - for EIC only designation is for two specific situations: 1. when the custodial parent is claiming the dependent and 2. Where the student would have been a qualifying child dependent, except for the self support test.
A common example for #2, is where the student still lives at home but supports herself with student loans.
