Expected
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.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. KU holds no release day — it says it responds as quickly as possible to every complete, submitted application, and December 1 is the date to beat for its scholarships.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at admissions.ku.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Kansas admissions.
KU's early action is about perks rather than an earlier decision day — applying early buys scholarship review, an earlier housing pick and a day's head start on orientation registration. The decision itself comes whenever your file is finished.
