Class of 2026 Regular Decision Notification Dates for all Colleges

You should know the regular decision notification dates for all colleges in order for you to have a solid grasp of when you can expect your results.

Last year, many colleges reported record-high increases in early applications, and it’s likely that this trend will continue into 2022. Consequently, it’s important to keep track of every component of the admissions process, including regular application decision notification dates for the class of 2026.

Remember to start applications early and work on them periodically. This will ensure a polished product when the deadlines approach. You’ll also want to avoid working on all your applications around the same time. This can often lead to silly and avoidable mistakes. Instead, focus and finish one set of applications so you can fully apply yourself to the next one.

In this post, we have aggregated the Class of 2026 Regular Decision Notification Dates (Regular Decision and Action Notification Dates for the 2022-23 Application Season). If you are looking for regular admission rates (or ED/EA results), please read the Regular Admission Statistics (Regular Acceptance Rates) for the Class of 2026 below.

Many of these dates are general, so expect these dates to change as we draw closer to mid-March. It is also possible for colleges to post a release date only to move it up or postpone to a later date, so these dates are subject to changes.

Check back regularly for updated dates and times – especially for those labelled “TBD” or those with a general time frame (mid/late March, early April, etc.)
