If they live in your house, legally yes you can claim them. You can also claim a student in college as a dependent up to 21 years of age. So even if your student is paying their entire way, legally they can still be someone's dependent.

When the child files their tax returns, they have to put that someone claims them as a dependent, or the IRS may look at why the guardian is also claiming them as a dependent.
