You may apply for an emergency book loan if you meet eligibility requirements listed below. Emergency book loans are open on the web beginning the Monday of the week before classes begin for Fall, Spring, Summer 1 and Summer 2 and close at 4 p.m. on the following regular payment deadline date. Students who want to apply for a book loan for Intersession semesters must come to the Business Office to fill out an emergency book loan application by the fourth class day of the semester.
To be eligible for an emergency book loan, students must:
- Have a social security number on file with the Registrar's Office
- Have a schedule for the semester showing on WT Class
- Not have a credit balance or refund of credit for the semester
- Not have any holds on their account with any University departments
- Not have any unpaid emergency loans
To apply for an emergency book loan, students should click on the
Emergency Loan link on Buff Advisor and follow all instructions to complete the process and receive a confirmation number. If a student does not get a confirmation number, they did not complete the application process. Students may only apply for an emergency book loan once each semester.
All applicants will receive an email to their Buff Email account 1-2 business days after applying giving the status of their loan request. Currently, book loan funds will be made available to pay for books through the University Bookstore website (only) using the "Financial Aid" option.
