How about if you call the Bursar’s Office to find out her CornellCard balance and have her bring one of your checks to pay it when she arrives on campus. Then her available balance will once again be $850 when she goes to buy her books. The bookstore may even accept one of your checks if not her starter checks. I think a quick call to the bookstore will help you find an easy solution.

One of my s’s was leaving on a trip shortly after opening a new account. The bank allowed us to put a “rush” on his new debit card and he had it in 2 days. You may want to see if your bank will do this.
