If you are still on an F-1visa and have not stayed within the US for more than five years, you are considered as a nonresident. Nonresidents are not allowed to claim any education tax credits or deduction.

If you have already stayed within the US for more than five years by the end of the year 2019, you are a US resident for tax purposes. You can claim an education credit or deduction. Here are the steps:
