<p>I know that Orientation dates are 8/26-8/29 but my parents are making plans now so do the parents are done after move-in day aug 26 right</p>
<p>According to last year's information (on the web site), parents are expected to leave on Sunday.</p>
<p>ThatMom is correct....we were there for last year's orientation, moved S into his dorm on Saturday and were planning to leave New Orleans on Sunday. However, because of Katrina, we evacuated that Saturday after move-in and well, you know the rest.</p>
<p>I'd go ahead and make hotel reservations based on last year's schedule. However, if you need to fly in, I'd call the orientation office and double check first. There are several things I've noticed about the school calendar that are different for 2006-2007 than for this year. It's best to be safe on this if airline tickets are on the line.</p>
<p>I sent a note last week with this question....Here is the response I got back from the orientation office.</p>
<p>The parent programs go through Sunday night (August 27th) and most parents leave around that time. The one event I wouldn't miss would be the President's Convocation on Saturday, August 26th but there are many other programs planned for parents over the weekend.</p>
