I don’t know if this would work for Cornell, but what has worked for us, D was able to get book titles, authors and ISBN numbers online for her courses and buy books online using my creditcard. She saved a lot of money and had the books before classes started. (YMMV, she was a savy upperclassman at the time)
Is your D an authorized user on your card? We have used that system for travel, books and emergency uses only - no charging meals or new clothes, but easier for things parents are paying for anyway. Of course, that depends on who in your family covers books…
