Generally you don’t find out your specific advisor until you are here for orientation or after–depends on the school/department. During Orientation, because there are so many students that need advising, you may not see your advisor, but another advisor in the department. If your student is in Hutton, s/he will see a Hutton advisor–at least it was that way a few years ago.

Parking permits have changed over the last few years so I am not as familiar with them as I was in the past. Generally freshman can get a permit for parking at the Memorial Stadium lot. The issue with the Memorial Stadium lot is tht the car needs to be moved on football and basketball game days. Sometimes they are lucky enough to get a permit for their dorm lot, but generally those are first given to non-freshman. Given s/he is living in Collins parking is at a premium in that area. Even if s/he has a permit, there is not guarantee of nearby parking. I’m also wondering if you were at the correct website. This one doesn’t require a log in: https://parking.indiana.edu/index.html

This page includes a number to call: http://www.iubus.indiana.edu/parking_operations/permit_purchase.aspx
My guess is permit costs have not yet been determined for next fall.

I also question the need for a car. Collins is in the center of campus and close to numerous bus stops. Getting to shopping areas, etc. is fairly easy from that location by walking and/or bus.
