Yes, the American Opportunity Credit can only be claimed four times per student (combined with the Hope Credit if applicable), so it is to your advantage to wait until you can maximize the benefit because it provides greater credits. There is no limit for the Lifelong Learning Credit but as indicated, it is not quite as generous (lower amount and nonrefundable).
