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 Decision I
Early Decision I isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Providence says Early Decision I is generally released by December 1; the last two cycles it posted December 2 and December 3, in the evening.

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at admission.providence.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Providence admissions.
Every decision goes up in the Admission Status Portal — Providence sends nothing by mail. Its early rounds land earlier than almost anyone else's, with Early Decision I out in the first days of December.
