Let’s use this thread to list what we know. Please add a screenshot if available.

I think it will become a requirement in the coming weeks from NACAC to make it 6/1.
No. The colleges can not move in a unified manner to a June 1 date because that would be collusion and would incite another DOJ lawsuit against NACAC. Many schools will change their date. Some won’t.
NACAC requires no deadlines before 10/15 and also the 5/1 deadline. What’s the difference? I’m assuming it’s because they don’t really go after them for previously made rules but not sure.
Suffolk University moved to June 1st.

NACAC does not require the May 1 deadline. It is merely a suggested guideline/best practices. A number of programs, especially some music/MT/BFA programs, have enrollment deadlines before May 1.
Basically after the DOJ lawsuit against NACAC a few years ago, NACAC’s CEPPs (formerly SPGPs) are a best practices document with no teeth, meaning NACAC can’t enforce these best practices or administer any consequences for a school doing something else.

Southwestern University is keeping their 5/1 enrollment deadline, but now has their own financial aid form online that students can fill out in order to get a preliminary financial aid award letter in advance of the financial aid package that they’ll send out after they receive SAI data from FAFSA.
Rutgers moved their day to June 1! That’s the latest I’ve seen so far.

Can you turn this into a wiki post please. That way we can make a chart in just one single post that is easier to navigate.
That’s a great idea to have a chart. I have no idea how to make a wiki post. Can you do or only the original poster? If OP, pls guide me.
