Decision Day in Virginia

On or around May 1

Decision Day, sometimes referred to as Signing Day, celebrates the success of high school seniors in pursuing postsecondary education or training. Celebrations take place on or around May 1 to coincide with the deadline that most institutions use for students to submit enrollment decisions. We encourage schools and communities to be creative when recognizing students and demonstrating support for the decisions that they have made for their futures. Celebrate Decision Day with resources and ideas!
