Tip:
enter before the standard deadline (2
November 2026) to avoid the higher late-entry fee. Entering early also lets you
lock in your preferred exam time and gives you a clear runway to prepare.
How to enter for an ACCA exam
You
book your exams through your myACCA account on the official ACCA website.
Select the December 2026 session, choose your paper(s) and preferred date/time
within the exam week, and pay the entry fee. Fees are lower at the standard
deadline and increase for late entry, so it pays to book early.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still sit an ACCA exam in September 2026
if I missed the deadline?
No.
The late entry deadline for September 2026 was 3 August 2026, and entries
cannot be accepted after that date. Your next chance is the December 2026
sitting (exam week 7–11 December 2026).
When can I register for the December 2026 ACCA
exams?
Right
now. The entry window opened on 4 August 2026. The standard deadline is 2
November 2026, and the late deadline is 9 November 2026.
What's the difference between standard and
late entry?
Both
let you sit the same exam — the only difference is cost. Late entry carries a
higher fee, so entering before the standard deadline saves you money.
When are the September 2026 exams held?
The
September 2026 exam week runs Monday 7 September to Friday 11 September 2026.
Your specific exam date and time within that week are confirmed in your myACCA
docket.
