Yes, If you took out a loan to cover the cost of your tuition and fees you can still claim the credits and deductions for your tuition depending on if you qualify based on the rest of your situation for the credits or deduction.
See IRS Paid with borrowed funds section.
"You can claim an American opportunity credit for qualified education expenses paid with the proceeds of a loan. Use the expenses to figure the American opportunity credit for the year in which the expenses are paid, not the year in which the loan is repaid. Treat loan payments sent directly to the educational institution as paid on the date the institution credits the student's account".Tuition paid with loan
