Not only is it awful for someone in the op's situation, but it seems to me that it's quite late and way too close to the beginning of the school year for orientation.

I'm not sure how orientation works at Alabama, but I really don't understand this either. At my school, we had 12 orientation dates from early June to late July and one a week before classes started which is also during rush.

But on the other hand, there could be out of state students who can't afford and/or find the time to go back and forth across the country for orientation AND come back when they have to move in.

That's basically how it works at Alabama too. The two August sessions for freshmen are "final sessions."
