When I went to college orientation 8 years ago, we had a 2-day orientation for both new students and parents. Parents had their sessions-housing, tuition, etc and students had theirs-clubs, student government, greek life, etc. We also met with our advisors and registered the second day.
My dad went with me and it was very educational for him. We each were able to learn the things we needed/wanted to learn.
Then freshman move-in was the Wednesday before classes started so we all moved in that day, then had 3-4 days of activities/events around campus to get us familiar with the area before the rest of the students came on board.
And as for grades-initially mid-term reports were being sent home, until the privacy act took over and that no longer happened. It's just the same; however, as when I was in school and dealing with my parents health insurance. My mom would call about a bill and they would refuse to talk to her b/c I was over 18-even though I was a child on their plan. Same thing with grades.
