No, you cannot.
You can only use the education expenses you paid in a particular year and claim the benefit on that year's tax return. The IRS does not allow you to interchange or swap the benefit between years. You cannot use your education expenses that were paid in 2016 to claim a credit or deduction on your 2019 tax return.
