<p>To anyone who has already attended freshmen orientation, did you receive an email with details on what to bring, times, etc. prior to orientation? My session is next week, however I have yet to receive any such email. Am I missing something or do they just send them out Sunday/Monday?</p>
<p>You will not get an e-mail… You should have gotten something in the mail. Just get on the
Bealonghorn site and search orientation. There should be some info there.</p>
<p>We didn’t receive an email or anything in the mail either…Any advice on what to bring? My son is attending this week.</p>
<p>[Office</a> of the Dean of Students - New Student Services - Summer Orientation](<a href=“http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/nss/sumorient.php]Office”>http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/nss/sumorient.php) </p>
<p>That page has several really helpful links that should give you all the info you need.</p>
<p>Thank You! That link was very helpful! I also found my son’s orientation confirmation at [Office</a> of the Dean of Students - New Student Services](<a href=“http://www.utorientation.com%5DOffice”>http://www.utorientation.com).</p>
<p>The link posted above is not correct…The correct link for orientation confirmation is utorientation.com . I left out the www hoping it will post correctly this time.</p>
<p>What exactly does the “orientation confirmation” look like?</p>
<p>It’s titled “Summer 2010 Orientation Registration” and has the dates of your child’s orientation, how many nights in the dorm, any tests he/she has registered to take, and the amount you paid.</p>
<p>Just so y’all know – I was never asked for this confirmation letter at any point during orientation. I thought I was going to need it, but I guess not!</p>
<p>I don’t even think I got one last year.</p>
<p>Another thing…if you paid for the BBQ, they will have your name on a list, so no need to bring a confirmation for that either.</p>
<p>When I went to the BBQ 2 weeks ago there definitely wasn’t a list and I was told several times that it was 100% free. I believe that included parents too. I guess this is new?</p>
<p>Sorry for the confusion ^^^ The BBQ is free for the students but it is 25.00 pp for parents. I am a parent 
I was concerned before I went because I couldn’t find my recipt for when I paid for the BBQ. It was not needed, as they had a list of who paid…the food was really good and it is well worth attending! My D got three free T-Shirts there. :)</p>
<p>I think they actually check that you are wearing a UT Orientation name tag, and they let anybody in wearing one. There was no list.</p>
