I don’t know about journals, but since Sheffield’s first undergrad conference in 2010, there have been at least another three show up this year (either that or they were just more quiet about it before). As far as I’m aware there’s Sheffield, King’s College, The Dumfries campus in Glasgow aaand one more that I’ve forgotten. But they all tend to be held in the Spring semester so I don’t know of any happening soon. So keep an eye out on facebook for those unis, and I reckon that even more might start up their own this year!
This page lists a lot of events, many of them regular ones: http://www.philosophynow.org/events
I usually refer my students to Trinity University’s excellent website; see this page for journals, and the nav bar on the left of that page also provides conferences:
http://web.trinity.edu/x5950.xml
And I should add: They don’t alert users to the fact that there are two journals called Aporia, however. They link to the Aporia journal out of Brigham Young, the first link below, but for some students it sure may be easier to get to Dartmouth’s Aporia conference, which is also a journal producer (second link):
http://aporia.byu.edu/site.php?id=about
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~aporia/aboutus.html
Here is a quickly collated list of 22 undergraduate journals or conference opportunities from last year that I compiled for undergraduates at Rutgers. Since most of these are going concerns, they should be accepting submissions for this year too.

of the presentation. The
deadline for proposals is February 18, 2011. Please include your full
name, paper title,
institution, e-mail, phone number, and the name and contact

prizes. Proposals and final papers should be sent via e-mail
attachment to Dr. Arthur Remillard
at aremillard@francis.edu.
The keynote address will be given on Friday evening, with a student-
led discussion to follow. All
student presentations will be given on Saturday from approximately

Ball State University’s philosophy department has an undergraduate philosophy journal. Here’s the link: http://stance.iweb.bsu.edu/About_Us.html
Michigan State University runs a conference for graduate students in philosophy. It’s held every spring, and often has a focus in social and political philosophy. I haven’t yet seen the call for papers for this coming year, but it will likely be available soon. (The department at Michigan State is very feminist-friendly, and I would highly recommend this conference to any grad students reading this blog,)
