My best advice would be to touch base with an accountant on that one. I'm unsure. I know that you can only claim that credit twice anyway.

The Hope credit is twice. I think lifelong learning is not restricted on number of times used, but the credit is less.

Heriot-Watt MBA 7 Modules + 1 Tenative Compensatory Pass

IC Study Credits:
Info. Systems & Comp Apps. CLEP 68

Oh--right. I knew one of them you only got twice, and it was a $ for $ credit...for a good deal more than the other one.
