An Improved Member Experience: System Updates
We are excited to share that we are upgrading our association management platform as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a more seamless and connected member experience.
AACSB is transitioning to Salesforce, a platform that will improve access to AACSB resources, simplify account management, and integrate your experience across programs and services. You will be temporarily unable to access your AACSB member account and applications in the coming days. This includes paying invoices, registering for events, and accessing member benefits like myAccreditation, the Exchange, and DataDirect. We encourage you to consider completing any member-related actions or purchases now to ensure that they are processed in a timely fashion.
If you have any questions or time-sensitive requests during the outage, our team is available to you at membership@aacsb.edu.
During the outage, members will be unable to access services including:
- MyAACSB
- AACSB Exchange
- myAccreditation
- DataDirect
- Analytics Hub
- Learning Management System (LMS)
- Event registration
- Career Connection
- Other applications that require AACSB single sign-on (SSO)
20-23 July 9:00 a.m. EST
Customer-facing systems and single sign-on (SSO) will be unavailable.
23 July
Members can resume logging in and accessing AACSB systems. Please note that that this is tentative and any changes to this timeline will be communicated via email from myAACSB@aacsb.edu.
If you're planning to attend an upcoming event, we encourage you to register before 20 July or after systems return on 23 July.
Yes.
Membership staff will continue assisting members throughout the transition. If you have an urgent request while systems are unavailable, please contact the Membership team directly via email at membership@aacsb.edu.
Yes.
Your AACSB account, profile information, and membership history will migrate to the new platform.
Some institutions use email security tools that restrict incoming email based on trusted IP addresses or domains. If your institution uses these controls, we recommend sharing Salesforce's published IP address information with your IT or email administration team before launch to help ensure that system-generated emails (such as password resets and other member notifications) are delivered successfully.
Salesforce maintains the current list of IP addresses and related guidance here:

If your institution does not use IP allowlists or similar email filtering policies, no action is required.
