<p>Other admin things parents can do with their kids is figure out medical privacy & grade & financial privacy issues with their students. There will be forms at orientation (I’ve been told) where the student can sign to authorize parents to share med info & billing, as well as grades as well as all financial info (since we’re paying). It’s a good idea to reach agreement about these issues & get the right forms signed. It’s also useful to share password info so the parents can access the on-line billing info & be sure things are paid on time so kids can focus on the schoolwork & socializing. <grin> These are the aspects I plan to handle, freeing son to be a student.</grin></p>
<p>Yes, my “D” is going to the 2nd one… :)</p>
<p>June 27 and 28</p>
<p>june 27-28th</p>
<p>lol We really should have a CC table set up for the 27-28…</p>
<p>ok…well, now i’m considering taking my dad…i figure most other people will be bringing their parents, so i wont be missing out too greatly on the social opportunities.</p>
<p>but on the current session i have set, i’m not sure if my dad can go…so if i needed to change my RSVP, is there a charge to change the session?</p>
<p>aww you can do it without your dad! i am, we’ll be fine. =)</p>
<p>but if you need to change, like i changed dates from the 1st to the 3rd, there was no additional charge. but id do it before spots get really filled up.</p>
<p>Well, it’s nice to hear that many parents want to come; I was starting to worry that my own would be lonely at the first session…</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, are those of you attending the first session still in school at that time? I have a feeling that my school graduation is really early compared to most others; Commencement is on the 3rd for us.</p>
<p>weeeeelll…i already changed it haha. and i figured, if i’m going to the closest thing i’ve had to a dream school, at least one of them should have a good look around and get a feel for it. neither of them has even really been to downtown LA much less USC, so it’d be a good opportunity for my dad to see what it’s like. and my date’s still June 20-21.</p>
<p>i had mine set at june 8/9, while i’ll still be in school, but i have a really important thing on the 9th so i had to change it to the 20/21st. my dad works around there and went there so hes really familiar with it, but now i hope im not the only parentless one…</p>
<p>and you pay automatically for an overnight stay, right? =)</p>
<p>for students, overnight’s included. parents, you add between $20 (for a res hall double) to $80 (i think for a Radisson single) to the $125 for adding a parent.</p>
<p>I’ll also still be in school, but all the other days were inconvenient. I don’t mind missing school :-d!</p>
<p>If both of your parents are going, should they both sign up for a double res hall each? Will the event coordinators put my parents together in the same room or are the floors for parent rooms going to be single-sex?</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I’m going to the June 8th/9th orientation - I hope to see a lot of you there!</p>
<p>my parents just booked a room on travelocity at the radisson.</p>
<p>my dad and i are staying there</p>
<p>wow I’m going JULY 6-7, it seems like NO ONE is going to that session at all. I’m going to be alone 
not fun…</p>
<p>June 13-14. Not many people going to that one :(</p>
