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 isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Butler shares Early Action decisions as applications are read, between October and December, and guarantees an answer by December.
Early Decision — nursing applicants only
Early Decision — nursing applicants only isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Butler's binding Early Decision plan is limited to nursing applicants, and its page says those decisions are shared in December.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect January 2027. Butler shares Regular Decision as applications are read, anywhere from December through February, off a February 1 deadline.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at adm.butler.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Butler admissions.
Butler reads applications as they arrive rather than holding decisions for one release day, so the month below is a window, not a date. Its Early Decision plan is open only to students applying to the nursing program.
