ACCA December 2026: Standard Entry Closes 2 November

The ACCA December 2026 session has two entry deadlines left, and the cheaper one comes first.

The dates

•    Entry opened: 4 August 2026

•    Standard entry closes: 2 November 2026

•    Late entry closes: 9 November 2026

•    Exams take place: 7 – 11 December 2026

All deadlines fall at 23:59 UK time on the date listed. If you are entering from another timezone, work that back to your local clock rather than assuming you have until the end of your own day.

The week between the two dates is expensive

Late entry exists, so missing 2 November is not fatal. It is simply more expensive, and you get one extra week rather than a month.

The practical risk is planning around 9 November as though it were the real deadline. If anything goes wrong with payment or your account in that week, there is no third deadline behind it.

Before you enter

Check your exam is actually available in the December session and at your chosen centre before you pay, and confirm you have met any prerequisites for the papers you are entering.
