@pleigh What department did you talk to? Their twitter account said that decisions would be sent through emails. Maybe we just find out that way?

o.k. now i am getting excited…they posted this last year too when they sent out the first email. So, I am now confident that they will release the first email today after 3:00p.m. " Undergraduate admissions decisions are not currently available. This message will be updated when the decisions are released." This was not there yesterday. Trust me, I’ve been stalking the website.
@AMK467 They say to update the census data. Which, I don’t know why they couldn’t wait until we got the decisions.
@wywtcm21 So do you believe this is indicative of the email instructing us on how to view your decision or that decisions will be released today?
Typically the email is sent out a day before decisions, as you mentioned before, but if tomorrow they are down for the census, would you say the email will be sent out today for a decision Friday or that the email will be sent out today for a decision later today?
. Could “updating the census data” possibly be equivalent to “releasing admissions decisions”?
I can’t imagine them releasing decisions today and having it down tomorrow. Kids would be contacting the office all day tomorrow as they realized decisions are out but they can’t access them. I bet they release them Friday because why would they release them today and not have people access them tomorrow when they want to?
What about the twitter reply about them coming to the email provided?
Maybe they will be today via email??

@shelbydry decisions will first be sent to the email you provided in your application!
They did say they were releasing decisions by EMAIL not necessarily via portal, so the email for “instructions on viewing decisions” could not be neccesary this year, thus we would not have a one day warning. And since the portal is going down, that makes me believe they will send a decision via email even more: especially since they even stated it would be in an email. I know other schools release via email too, like Notre Dame. So this would not be unusual
@adp106 I believe we will receive the email instructing us how to view your decision, what I am not certain of @JPGator98 if they will release both emails today. Instructions and decision because either way, we can’t view it tomorrow because of the “outage” @BlueBlazer I have thought about that too, that maybe they are calling it an “outage” so faculty and current students will be off so new coming students can check the decision and not crash the website.
Connect Carolina says it will be down for faculty, staff and current students. This may not include prospective student access.
Hey so will we be getting letters at all? or is it only email? and do you think that the acceptance emails and/or letters will be sent out today?
If they sent out decisions via email then this whole “one day warning” becomes obsolete. You wouldn’t need instructions on how to view the decision if it is going to be directly emailed to you. While I just chalked up the previous tweet from admissions as a mistake on their part on not clarifying that the admissions email will be instructional or the actual decision, I agree with @nduclaunc now that it seems pretty coincidental that admissions tweeted that plus ConnectCarolina is down tomorrow. I’m thinking we may see an admissions email sent out today.
I was talking with a coach
But like a said take it with a grain of salt, could be totally inaccurate
Student portal wouldn’t say admissions decisions not available yet if was going to be an email decision.
@momofboys99 The admissions tweet says “decisions will first be released to the email you provided in your application!” so maybe we will see an decision email come first followed by the decision posted on the portal as well.
I don’t know how much longer my body can take WAITING
This whole “decisions will be email to the email in your application” makes sense. So maybe we will actually have the decisions today and go past the instructional email. YIKES!!! Good luck everyone.
I’m losing it guys. So is it official that the email precedes the connectcarolina notification?
I feel like I’m just waiting to be denied hahaha
