Both credits (American Opportunity Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit) require that the school be an "Eligible Education Institution"
You can ask the school if they are eligible, and if not, the credits are not applicable to you.
Or use this link to look up the school.
According to the IRS:
"An eligible educational institution is any college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Virtually all accredited public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately owned profit-making) postsecondary institutions meet this definition. An eligible educational institution also includes certain educational institutions located outside the United States that are eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The educational institution should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution.”
