Q. Does the credit only apply to the first four calendar years or the first four years of equivalent credit?
A. The first four years of equivalent credit
Answer no to that question, since you did not obtain the 120 credits required for a 4 year degree at your school.
But, beware of another rule: you are limited to claiming the AOC four times, including the times your parent claimed it, on your education, while you ere their dependent. If you've been in school 6 years, you may have already got your 4 times.
