A few suggestions: get your ID card early if you attend the pre-reg day, bring two laptop computers if you have them (use the night before scheduling), make several backup schedules in case your classes are full & have them ready to go with class numbers. Unlike Debbie7452, I was not allowed to join my student for class sign ups (Mays Business School), parents waited outside both years. Have a plan of attack - they literally say ‘go’ when schedule opens- fastest one gets the slot in each course. You can choose to add all classes at once, add one at a time or anything in between. You will be going to your college assigned designated area (they had counselors/professors in the room/library with students). It can take 5 min. or 2 hours… depending on your pre-planning & avail. courses.

Go to your future housing spot: take pictures & measurements - closet depth (size of laundry baskets & additional shelving needed?) any extra room for refrigerator, little shelf, chair/couch,look at walls (can you hang on them?), empty space under sink or cabinet, etc. I measured everything so we could take what fit. Size of closet varies on campus by quite a bit. You will be much happier on move in day when you don’t have carry everything BACK to the car that doesn’t fit.

Look at the map of the school - be realistic about getting from one class to the other- it’s a big campus.

DO display your parking pass… YES they do write citations, park in the correct areas.

I really enjoyed the yell leaders presentation, it’s last on the agenda but a fun time. Q&A panel for parents was very amusing & helpful. Enjoy your time on campus!
