Clemson undergraduate decisions usually come out in mid-December for Early Action and mid-February for Regular Decision , with exact dates and times varying slightly each year.

Key timing at a glance

  • Early Action (EA)
    • Decisions: typically mid-December.
* In recent cycles, many students saw updates in the evening (often around 6 p.m.) via the portal, but Clemson does not guarantee an exact hour.
  • Regular Decision (RD)
    • Decisions: listed as mid-February for recent application cycles.
* Some past forum threads and unofficial timelines mention specific dates (e.g., Feb 18 at 6 p.m. for one recent year), but that kind of precision comes from emails or posts and can change year to year.
  • How you get notified
    • Decisions are posted in your applicant portal , and Clemson may send an email about the exact release date and approximate time once they finalize it.

What this means if you’re waiting now

For a current cycle, you should:

  1. Expect EA news around mid-December and RD news around mid-February rather than one fixed national “decision day”.
  1. Watch your email and portal —Clemson typically confirms the specific date and often the time (like “6 p.m.”) a few days before decisions drop.
  1. Don’t panic if friends hear a few minutes earlier or later; decisions can roll out over several hours during business time or early evening.

Forum-style scoop and recent chatter

Public forum discussions show that:

  • Students often speculate the week before, then someone posts that an email went out with a set date and a 6 p.m. release time , and everyone piles into the portal at once.
  • In some years, decisions have come earlier than the “official” posted window (e.g., before March 1, at 6 p.m.), especially once Clemson fully adopted Early Action and moved RD a bit later in the calendar.

So the “real” answer to “when do Clemson decisions come out?” is: mid-December for EA and mid-February for RD, with the exact day and time announced by Clemson during the cycle —usually pointing you to check your portal in the late afternoon or early evening.
