decision letter

Official acceptance notification

A decision letter is an official written communication announcing a judgment or outcome, typically from an institution to an individual.

The term appears most often in contexts of college admissions, job applications, immigration cases, and grant funding: I've been checking the mailbox obsessively waiting for my decision letter.

The letter may deliver acceptance, rejection, or a conditional status.
