You or your parents (if they claimed you as a dependent) may be eligible for education credit.

Graduation year is usually the 5th calendar year of college.  There is a 4 time limit for claiming the most generous credit, the American Opportunity Credit.  Your parents may have already claimed it the maximum 4 times on your schooling.
