Ten years ago at my alma mater, New Student Orientation was everything from move-in to the first day of classes. From what I remember, we moved in on one day, the next day was freshman convocation, followed by a cookout. Parents were encouraged to leave after the cookout. Then we got into our academic advising groups. There were other activities, like opening day at the cafe, parties, etc. (G rated parties thrown by the school)

Registration had started online over the summer. If you weren't finished, you'd go to "Completion" which only took me ten minutes with no waiting.

I don't remember heavy parent involvement during New Student Orientation. I know that NSO has changed at my school since then and is more summer camp-y in feeling, so parents are probably even less welcome.
