Regular Decision
Thursday
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
Early Decision isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Spelman's binding Early Decision shares the November 1 early deadline, and the college says early applicants are notified by December 31.
Early Action
Early Action isn't announced yet — expect December 2026. Spelman says students admitted under Early Action are notified early in their senior year, by December 31.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect April 1, 2027 (Thursday). Spelman says Regular Decision applicants are notified of the admission decision by April 1.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at apply.spelman.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Spelman admissions.
Spelman states its timing as outside limits rather than release days — early applicants hear before the calendar year is out, everyone else by April 1.
