[quote=Anonymous]I think every college does things a bit differently so just prod them every few weeks to make sure they're on top of it.  My daughter was starting freshman year last fall and her college required roommate forms, health forms and allowed them to select 3 courses (out of 4) by early June.  They didn't learn their roommate or dorm assignment until late July or early August I think.  For the classes it was first come first served online so being on top of that was important - my daughter got all three of her choices because she was ready but others didn't.  There was no mid-summer orientation, hers was right before they began the school year because they are a school that draws from all over the country (and world) and there would be no way to ask students to show up in June for three days.

Basically, just ask them to find out all of these things and have them track everything.  Once they go through the process they're ok and don't need reminders - trust me they get smart pretty quickly about how classes fill fast and how annoying it can be to get waitlisted for a course or day/time they want.[/quote]
