Yes you can still claim him as lomg as he lived with you for over half the year, and didn’t provide over half of his own support. When he files his return, he can’t claim himself.
He should NOT claim exempt and JennaLyn said – exempt is pretty much the opposite of zero. He should claim zero though on his W-4.

Generally, you can still claim your son as a dependent as long as all of the following are met: 1) He was a full time student for at least part of five calendar months of the year, 2) He lived with you for at least six months of the year (except while away on temporary absences such as attending school), and 3) He did not provide more than half of his own support for the year.

Yes, but he needs to indicate on his own tax return that someone else is claiming him as a dependent, as that affects the amount of his standard deduction and his tax liability.

He can not claim himself though but he can file a return.

It depends on how much he made. If he lived with you and you provided more than half his support for the year then you can claim him.

You can only claim him if you provided more than one-half of his support. Count everything ....room, food, clothes, utilities. If he earned more than you provided for him, he files and claims himself.
If you provided more than half his support, he still files a return, but you claim him and he does not claim himself on his return.

As long as he doesn't claim himself. He can still file without claiming himself too.

Yes. As long as his income is low and he didn't claim himself as independent.

he has to claim exempt (in other words zero) and then you can claim him. make sure your tax advisor knows of this if you have separate apointments when getting your taxes done otherwise you can have some seroius problems with the IRS down the road.

you should claim him first - you'll get more of a tax benefit than he will from the exemption
