✳️ IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION
ACEJMC LookUp has been removed from the ACEJMC website and archived offline effective June 30, 2026.
In April 2026, ACEJMC leadership recommended to the Accrediting Council that the ACEJMC LookUp database be discontinued. The Council unanimously approved this recommendation at its annual meeting on May 5, 2026, in Washington, D.C.
In alignment with this change, Indicator (C) under Standard 1 of the Accrediting Standards will be amended. This change will be reflected in the 2026-2027 edition of the Journalism and Mass Communications Accreditation Handbook.
This change will also be reflected in Part II of the self-study template under Standard 1. The updated self-study template will go out in fall 2026 to all schools scheduled to host site reviews during the 2027-2028 academic year.
If your unit is currently preparing a self-study for the 2026-2027 accreditation review cycle, you may disregard the searchable database directive in your self-study template.
If you have any questions or concerns about the termination of ACEJMC LookUp, please contact ACEJMC Executive Director Susan Walton at susan.walton@acejmc.org or Associate Executive Director Darren Phillips at darren.phillips@acejmc.org.
Sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to ACEJMC LookUp over the years.
