Expected
Rolling admission
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.
Rolling admission
Rolling admission isn't announced yet — expect November 2026. LSU reads applications as they arrive instead of holding them for one release day, and notifications have started going out around the middle of November.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at admissions.lsu.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: LSU admissions.
LSU never names a decision day. Applications open August 1 and are read as they come in, so the honest answer is that your date depends on when you finished your file. December 1 is the deadline that matters for scholarships; February 1 closes the door.
