Expected
Rolling admission
Dates marked announced come from the college itself, with the announcement linked. Dates marked expected rest on the evidence named right next to the date — that college's own release history or the timeline its admissions office publishes — and the label switches to announced only when the college says so.
Rolling admission
Rolling admission isn't announced yet — expect January 2027. Alabama answers about four to six weeks after a file is complete, so students who hit the December 4 priority date usually hear in January; the university promises everyone who met it a decision by late March at the latest.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at admissions.ua.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Alabama admissions.
Alabama is rolling — there is no single release day. Your decision arrives about four to six weeks after your application is complete, so applying earlier simply means hearing earlier.
