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 February 2027. CU Boulder tells students who completed a November 15 application that they will receive a decision by February 1.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect April 2027. CU Boulder tells students who completed a January 15 application that they can expect a decision by April 1.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at ugrad.apply.colorado.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Colorado admissions.
CU Boulder's early action answer is a ceiling rather than a release day — decisions can arrive any time up to February 1. College of Music applicants wait until after their audition no matter when they applied.
