The issue is whether your parents can claim you as a dependent based on IRS guidelines. If your parents do not furnish over 1/2 of your support, then they cannot claim you as a dependent, so you should not indicate that they can claim you when your file your tax return.
@ThomasM125 - please re-read the question. the parents DID support the student for over 50%. Can we please respond in the positive, so there is no confusion

Note the issue is whether they CAN claim you, not whether they actually did!
