Thank you very much!Matriculation is August 19
Oath Day is September 3
Parents weekend is September 22-24
Oath Day is very special, but you will only get to see your parents for an hour or so. Your parents will absolutely want to be there on parents weekend, because you will get to spend a lot of time with them, including late that Sunday night.
The Oath takes place at the New Market Battlefield. After the oath the rats and cadre charge across the battlefield, flags waving, to the cannon at the end of the field; good stuff. After the charge you have time to eat with your rat; you can bring food or purchase a lunch. Make hotel reservations NOW for any events you plan on attending.
I thought I read that parents will be able to spend time after returning to Lexington on Oath day. Is that not true?Matriculation is August 19

Does anyone know when the New Cadet Handbook and Parent Handbook come out for the class of 2018+3?
Does it jump straight from hell week into the academic year the next day or how does the transition work?
From looking at the calendar and remembering what my DS said when he went through it, I think the hell week goes right up to the day the "old corps" returns, then the next day is registration for classes and then the day after that classes start.
Thank you both very much!The last full day of hell week is a Saturday, followed by Rat Sunday (church in the morning, crucible in the afternoon), then registration day (there's nothing you have to do other than formations, but you should go locate all where all your classes are, buy any text books that you know you'll need, etc...). Classes start the following Tuesday.
