Do we bring our parents to enrolment/orientation day? (1 Viewer)

[Pies]

sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but knowing my parents they'll want to come to everything when they aren't even required to.

thanks!

*shrug*

I didn't. They can if they want. In USYD I noticed a few people bring theirs.

Most don't simply because there isn't anything you need your parents to do, but its up to you if you want to bring them. If nothing else they might be useful as company while you're waiting in the line.

some parents might want to check out the kind of uni you are going to, or want to be proud of you etc etc...there is no harm in bringing your parents..
it just means you have luving parents..

unlike my parents who dont giv a rats ass wat i do..

haha yeah my parents dont really give a shit what uni i'm in as long as i am in one. and yeah whatevs a business degree is nothing great. If i were in med however, i think they'd get my whole family to rock up to my uni.

I didn't take my parents to mine
they didn't want to come
but i saw quite a few students that actually did bring theirs

its really up to you...

lol, i told my dad that some kid are taking their parents now he wants to go

 

[Pies]

don't get me wrong, i don't mind if they're there. i just wasn't sure if they were needed (filling out forms, etc).

 

[Huratio]

I don't think they are needed for enrolment day because you would be doing all the filling of forms.

They can come to orientation week.. to have a look around the uni etc.

 

[Spider786]

you're a uni student now kiddo, your not in hs, once you turn 18 you can do everything yourself, no need for parents to sign anything

 

[sando]

i told my parents i dont want them coming.. even though they probly want 2 lol

 

[goan_crazy]

if your parents wanna come just let them

enrollment is all about you anyway though

they aren't needed

university gives independence people

 

[hellomike]

Your parents can't do your enrollment for you, or can they? Lol they can't do anything but you can bring them of course after for lunch or something.

 

[Spider786]

err they can, its called enolrment by proxy...

 

[goan_crazy]

err they can, its called enolrment by proxy...

thats correct.

 

[hellomike]

I said if you can do the enrollment yourself then do it, i didnt mean if parents can do it they can.

 

[lil_georgie_gal]

I went to my enrolment today and there were quite a few parents there, so i guess you could bring them along if you want

thxs, anymore info on enrolment?, like how long were the lines, when u got there(when did u get there), how long did the whole process take, what did it consist of? (subject choosing, timetable choosing, getting CAS accpted? etc)


thxs, (its not really important but it would be cool if you could)


EDIT: ALSO, do they check anything other then the printout your supposed to bring?, e.g do they have desk or roll call of some sort?, and were there any epople turned away becuse they weren't meant to be there?

thxs

The lines are huge, and it took at least an hour in the line when I did it, otherwise we handed in the slips, had a 15 min info seminar, get our HECS forms signed and approved (about 10 mins), enrolled into our subjects (another 10) and picked our time on the computers and then got our student IDs (another 10).

Thats the gist of it, and they will turn you away if you're not meant to be there.
