Season calendar · 2026–27 cycle
The decision season, month by month
Early rounds land in December, a second early wave in January and February, and Regular Decision fills late March into the first days of April. Every round of every college on this site is below, September 2026 through April 2027.
30 of these dates are announced — the college published them, and the announcement is linked on that college's page. Every other row says not announced yet and names the evidence it rests on. The two are never mixed.

Reading this calendar
A month heading is where the round lands, not a promise about the day. Rounds marked announced carry the day the college published. Rounds marked not announced yet show the month the evidence points to — that college's release history or its published timeline — and that sentence sits in the same row.
Ivy Day gets its own page — every Ivy Day on record — because all eight Ivies release Regular Decision on one evening. Once the season is running, just released tracks what came out today.
