Yes, if your employer refunded to you 5,250 (or less) for expenses that were paid in 2023, you can allocate that reimbursement to that 2023 expenses (as a refund).
The 5,250 should not have been reported as wages, so it should already be tax-free.
The expenses on the 2023 Form 1098-T (which is allocated to this employer reimbursement) should not have been used for an education credit on your 2023 tax year return or you may need to recapture that credit.
