I see what you mean, but I am still a bit confused. At every University with which I am familiar Orientation is when they show the nubies around and give them practical advice on life at XX University. Registration is where they take your money, if not already paid, issue you your ID card, and set up your class schedule. With a new freshman your schedule is pretty well fixed in stone with very minor differences depending on what you are shooting for: Business, Liberal Arts, Sciences, etc. I don't recall much in the way of electives until sophomore year or maybe one or two in second semester. One was just handed a printout showing your classes and their meeting times and locations.
If in this case Orientation and Registration are combined I would think that a freshman's class schedule would be pretty much already set in stone and she could get it from the registrars office later. I think it really depends on where her priorities are focused.
As I said, I do not claim great knowledge of the system there so I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. If she really wants to rush would it not be possible for her to visit the registrar's office a day or so later and still accomplish both rush and registration?
