No. Qualified expenses for education have the same definition as things have changed. See Qualified Education Expenses - Internal Revenue Service which states:
Qualified Education Expenses for Education Credits
Qualified expenses are amounts paid for tuition, fees and other related expense for an eligible student that are required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution. You must pay the expenses for an academic period* that starts during the tax year or the first three months of the next tax year.
See IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education page 45 for AQEE to determine taxability of your distribution using the above definition for QEE.
