With over 2,600 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 76%). Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial waiver.<\/p>\n<p>To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and review the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/policy-on-discretionary-open-access-apc-waivers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.acm.org\/publications\/policies\/policy-on-discretionary-open-access-apc-waivers&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1769367201173000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1Dt-LvF9tVoFHqvO2WNZgz\">www.acm.org\/publicatio<wbr \/>ns\/policies\/policy-on-<wbr \/>discretionary-open-access-apc-<wbr \/>waivers<\/a>. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer:<br \/>\n* $250 APC for ACM\/SIG members<br \/>\n* $350 for non-members<br \/>\nThis ~65% discount is funded directly by ACM.
