Talk to your professor and let them know what happened. I have had some professors that will actually allow the student to use theirs so they wont get too far behind. In other cases see if the book is on reserve at your library and check it out. Many colleges will also have emergency funding for books. In addition you may want to try getting a private student loan from places like nextstudent.com ,which you can get at any time during the semester. If you don’t qualify by yourself and have a cosigner you will have the money for books.

I used them once and it took them almost four weeks to get me my book. Since then I have only used the bookstore at school or Barnes and noble. Good Luck
