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.

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated.
Official timing straight from the school: UVA admissions.
UVA runs a binding Early Decision and a non-binding Early Action round off the same November 1 deadline, and posts to the applicant portal in the late afternoon Eastern rather than the evening.
