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.

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at admission.du.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Denver admissions.
Denver answers early across the board — even Regular Decision lands by late February, a month ahead of most private universities. Music applicants are the exception and can wait into early March.
