The University sent me a confirmation of payment but says as a foreign entity it does not file 1098 form. I have the EIN number. Can I still claim the credit and use turbo-tax? Can I claim the exception because University is foreign?

You do not need a 1098-T to claim the credit. But you do need to the school to be an "eligible institution".
To be eligible for the tuition credits or tuition & fees deduction, the course must be taken at "an eligible institution". The school should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution. In general, an eligible educational institution is an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution, including accredited, public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately-owned, profit-making) postsecondary institutions. Additionally, in order to be an eligible educational institution, the school must be eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education.
