New ACCA Exam Entry dates and processes
The ACCA has introduced improvements to the paper based exam entry process which will apply from the December 2011 exam session onwards.
The changes include:
- The availability of year round online exam entry
- Differential pricing – giving students who enter for their exams early and online the opportunity to save money
- The introduction of easy to remember key dates for early, standard and late exam entry periods
- The choice of entering for the current or the upcoming exam session
One of the key changes being introduced is the addition of an early exam entry period to the standard and late exam entry periods which already exist. The new dates going forward will be as follows:
| Exam entry period |
Early |
Standard |
Late |
| June exam sitting |
Before 8 March |
9 March – 8 April |
9 April – 8 May |
| December exam sitting |
Before 8 September |
9 September - 8 October |
9 October – 8 November |
| Exam entry method |
Online Only |
Online and Paper |
Online Only |
Please note:
- The early exam entry period only applies to students entering for exams online
- Discounted exam fees will be available in the early exam entry period
The new dates and tiered pricing only apply to entries for paper-based exams held in June and December and not CBEs.
