<p>Does anybody know anything about orientation?
Office</a> of New Student Programs | Incoming Freshmen | Orientation | Fall - University of Michigan
I went to that site and saw that orientation was from June 6th to August 3rd.
I'm going to be out of country from June 14th to August 2-4th though.</p>
<p>^Then I suggest you sign up for June 6 date(s) a.s.a.p.</p>
<p>Remember that that’s orientation dates for 2010.</p>
<p>It also says that “Information about Freshman Orientation is emailed in mid-April to all students who have paid their enrollment deposit.”</p>
<p>Has anyone received information regarding orientation?</p>
<p>My S just got an email from UMich about it with the links to sign up. Each session is 3 days long.</p>
<p>I just got an e-mail today about orientation.
It’s mandatory and if you can’t make it during the summer, you can go from like… august 30th -sept 1st.
Since I’m out of state, I think Orientation is a little dumb. I’d have to buy plane tickets to go there, and come back, then go back again. Even during August 30th-Sept 1st. Classes begin Sept 6th, so would I be able to stay in my dorm til then or would I have to sleep in a hotel or something…?</p>
<p>^You would take early occupancy of your residence room to accommodate. No need for the trip back home.</p>
<p>Orientation is when you sign up for classes so it isn’t dumb. If you arrive early in August, there is an ability to move in your room early. I know it cost extra. I don’t know how early and how much extra.</p>

So it’d be better going to the late orientation instead of going now and wasting money on plane tickets.</p>
<p>Wait… I typed that and realized how obvious my answer is…
I guess I’ll be attending the “late” orientation.
I wonder how many students will be there.</p>
