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 Decision I
Early Decision I isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. RIT pairs its November 1 Early Decision I deadline with a mid-December notification.
Early Decision II
Early Decision II isn't announced yet — expect January 2027. RIT pairs its January 1 Early Decision II deadline with a mid-January notification.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect March 2027. RIT tells Regular Decision applicants they will be notified in late March.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at join.rit.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: RIT admissions.
RIT's two binding Early Decision rounds are only a month apart in timing — mid-December and mid-January — and applicants turned down in Early Decision I are read a second time with the Regular Decision group.
