Coordinator of FASET Orientation and New Student Programs
</p>
<p>FASET Orientation looks forward to meeting the entering Class of 2011 this summer. If you or your student has not registered for FASET, it is not too late. The registration deadline for Fall Freshman FASET is Thursday, June 30. 
</p>
<p><strong>As you prepare for FASET, please take care of the following items:</strong>
</p>
<p>1. Verify you and your student have the correct dates for his or her FASET session:
</p>
<p>Summer Freshman FASET (Students starting in the summer)<br />
  * Thursday, June 23 - Friday, June 24
</p>
<p>Fall Freshman FASET (Students starting in the fall)<br />
  * FASET 1: Sunday, July 10 - Monday, July 11<br />
  * FASET 2: Sunday, July 17 - Monday, July 18<br />
  * FASET 3: Thursday, July 21 - Friday, July 22<br />
  * FASET 4: Monday, August 8 - Tuesday, August 9<br />
  * FASET 5: Sunday, August 14 - Monday, August 15<br />
  * FASET 6: Wednesday, August 17 - Thursday, August 18
</p>
<p>2. Make sure that everyone that is planning to attend FASET is registered. If you need to add an additional parent, family member, or guest, this can be done by your student using the same process he or she used to register for FASET initially. Registration instructions can be found online at <a href="http://nssp.gatech.edu/faset/index.php">www.faset.gatech.edu</a>. 
</p>
<p>3. Submit your studentâs medical forms to Stamps Health Services and verify that your student does not have an immunization hold. Information on this process can be found at <a href="http://www.health.gatech.edu/Pages/default.aspx">www.health.gatech.edu</a>. More information on this may be found in a separate article in this monthâs <em>ParentNews</em>.
</p>
<p>4. Make a reservation for your overnight stay in Atlanta (students are provided housing as part of their registration fee). FASET has partnered with several hotels in downtown Atlanta to provide special rates to FASET participants. A list of these hotels can be found at <a href="http://nssp.gatech.edu/faset/index.php">www.faset.gatech.edu</a>.
</p>
<p>5. Visit the FASET website, <a href="http://nssp.gatech.edu/faset/index.php">www.faset.gatech.edu</a>, for updated parking information and directions to campus. Because of road construction in downtown Atlanta, this information can change on a regular basis.
</p>
<p><em>Not Sure if You Are Registered for FASET?</em><br />
Students can log in up to 10 business days prior to their FASET session to update or verify their session. Directions on how to register for FASET can be found at <a href="http://nssp.gatech.edu/faset/index.php">www.faset.gatech.edu</a>.
</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
