Education Credit without form 1098-T

My child graduated college in May 2022 but did not receive form 1098-T from the university. When I called the university we learned this is because the spring 2022 tuition was “billed” in December 2021 and was therefore reported on the 2021 form 1098-T. I doubled checked and this is accurate. However we PAID the tuition in 2022 and got the school to send the billing transcript to confirm amounts were in fact PAID in 2022. So my question is can my daughter take the education credit in 2022 without form 1098-T as she is independent in 2022 and not claimed by parents? Also, the same tuition amounts were not taken by parents in 2021 due to AGI income limits so this would not be double dipping the same tuition in two tax years. Thanks in advance.
