My alma mater has a 1 day orientation called New Student Enrollment, with multiple dates throughout the summer. There is a specific parents program for the day, geared at answering questions the adults want to know. Students do things like take math and language placement tests, meet with an advisor, and get a tutorial on how to register for classes online (with NSE Leaders around to help out).

So since NSE dates are mainly in June and early July, move-in day doesn't have a whole lot of programming surrounding it. There's Big Red Welcome (which includes New Student Convocation, a street fair, and a number of free activities on campus) during that weekend before the first day of class, but it's geared for students, not parents.
