Student Tuition?

[thomtax]

If I understand this correctly

Student has statements for tuition. He worked and paid these fees himself. He is being claimed as a dependent on parent's return. He is filing without claiming his exemption. Since the fees are in his name and he paid them, so parent cannot claim the deduction.

Since he is not claiming his exemption, is he still able to take the education credit?
