Can I claim deduction on 1040a if this year's tuition payment is reported on last year's (2015's) 1098-T form?

I was a student January - April 2016, and paid for tuition in 2016. My school posted the bill for that semester on the 2015 1098-T form, despite the date of payment. I did not claim any deduction last year. Can I still claim tuition and fees adjustment on my 1040a? Or am I still eligible for the american opportunity credit?

I graduated in April 2016, and my school says it will not provide me with any 1098-T for the 2016 tax year. What can I do? Please any help is appreciated!
