[quote=Anonymous]Hi - Went through the same feeling last year.  It's disconcerting after years of being the primary contact.  Usually the school websites will have a parents/families page where some of this will be covered.  Ahead of the physical mailings though, your student may receive emails or more commonly should check that student portal and the portal where he received his admissions info.  Either may hold the info or link to info you seeking. Class registration may be during orientation but there may be some online pre-tests which should be done prior to registration.  And I would guess the housing info will be on the portal along with packing and move in instructions. And no one tells the parent any of this.  DC may have received an email but as all communications from the school was also on the portal going forward with no alerts, I think they were training DC (and us) for going forward.  We do get an email for tuition payments but that's it.  Also, get a medical durable power of attorney done in case you are needed for a medical emergency.  We also did a financial one as we set up accounts in DC's name for expenses.  Also TSA precheck for travel is very handy.[/quote]
