What is "National Decision Day?"

National Decision Day, observed annually on May 1, is the deadline for high school seniors in the United States to commit to a college or university for the upcoming academic year. It is a significant milestone in the college admissions process, marking the end of months—sometimes years—of applications, acceptances, and decision-making.

On this day, students officially notify colleges of their intent to enroll, usually by submitting a deposit. Many high schools celebrate National Decision Day with events, recognition, or social media posts to honor students’ post-graduation plans, which may include four-year universities, community colleges, trade schools, or military service. The day reflects both celebration and transition as students take the next step in their educational or career journey.
