Yes, if it was paid in 2017 you can claim the expenses. If you paid more than what is reported on the 1098-T, use the "What if this is not what I paid?" link under box 2 on the 1098-T screen and enter what was paid.
According to the IRS:
“If your school sent
you a 1098-T in 2016 and it showed that you were billed in 2016 for classes
that started in 2017, and you paid for those classes in 2017, you may use that
amount to apply for an education credit in 2017. You may or may not receive a
1098-T in 2017 from the school. You could not have used that amount (the fee
for the 2017 classes) towards a credit last year.
