If your son is your dependent he cannot claim education credits. The person who claims his exemption (you) gets the education credits. If he claimed his own personal exemption on his tax return, your return is going to be rejected when you try to e-file.
So first figure out if he is still your dependent. Is he a full-time student under the ago of 24? Did you pay for over half his support? If he "claimed himself" when he should not have, he is going to have to amend. And you will have to file on paper and mail your own return.
