Son took & failed/withdrew from all 3 Fall classes. Owes full bill. 1098T does not show half-time but was. IRS says can still get credit if withdraw & pays. Now what?

3 classes is considered at least"half-time" but my son failed  one & withdrew from 2 classes after add/drop.  He owes full amount for the 3 classes. American Opportunity credit is available for withdrawn and failed claess if student still paying expenses.

However, the school did not check box 8 so Turbo Tax will not allow credit. School told my son form was correct but it is not.   He was enrolled at least half-time and owes the money.  Should I just check box 8 since that is the correct treatment of his enrollment?
