Regular Decision
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.
Early Action
Early Action comes out January 15, 2027 (Friday). Arizona lists this as the day Early Action decisions start going out. Announced by University of Arizona first-year deadlines.
When Arizona actually released — past cycles
| Cycle | Released | Day | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025–26 | January 15, 2026 | Thursday | The first year Arizona ran Early Action; nearly 25,000 decisions went out | University of Arizona News |
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect March 2027. Arizona says Regular Decision goes out in batches through the spring, once the Early Action decisions have been announced.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at slate.admissions.arizona.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Arizona admissions.
Arizona is new to this format — its first Early Action round ran only last cycle, and merit aid offers arrive alongside the decision. Anything submitted after November 1 moves to the Regular Decision track.
