Is regular decision at Colgate University restrictive in any way?

I know some schools have restrictive early action or decision plans, but what about regular decision? Specifically, I'm applying to Colgate University and want to ensure there are no restrictions involved with this option.

No, Regular Decision at Colgate University is non-restrictive. You can freely apply to other universities through Regular Decision. It doesn't limit your ability to apply for or accept offers from other institutions.

In contrast, restrictive plans are typically associated with Early Action (EA) or Early Decision (ED) programs. In Restrictive Early Action or Single Choice Early Action plans, even though the decision is non-binding, you're usually not allowed to apply to other schools' EA or ED programs. For Early Decision, the commitment is binding, meaning if you're accepted, you're expected to attend that university and withdraw all other applications.

Regular Decision, generally, does not carry these kinds of conditions. So, you're welcome to apply to multiple schools under this plan, including Colgate, without any restrictions. Just remember to keep track of the individual deadlines for each school to ensure your application is submitted on time. For Colgate, the Regular Decision deadline is January 15th.
