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 1, 2026 (Tuesday). TCNJ's first-year deadlines table lists December 1 as the Early Decision notification day.
Early Action
Early Action isn't announced yet — expect January 15, 2027 (Friday). TCNJ's first-year deadlines table lists January 15 as the Early Action notification day.
Regular Decision
Regular Decision isn't announced yet — expect April 1, 2027 (Thursday). TCNJ promises that no matter how early you apply, Regular Decision notifications are posted no later than April 1.
Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at admissions.tcnj.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: TCNJ admissions.
Early Decision and Early Action share a November 1 deadline but not a release day — binding applicants hear December 1, Early Action applicants wait until January 15. Regular Decision is a ceiling rather than a fixed day: no applicant waits past April 1.
