We are pleased to announce improvements we have introduced to the exam entry process, which will apply from the December 2011 exam session onwards.

The changes and benefits to you include:

Greater flexibility and choice

You can:

• enter for exams all year round
• enter for one of the next two exam sessions
• add exams until the end of the standard entry closing date (the appropriate early or standard fee will apply, depending on when additional exams are added)
• remove exam entries made until the end of the standard entry closing date
• amend exam centre, stream or variant without charge until the end of the standard exam entry closing date.

Save money

• We have introduced an online early exam entry period and fee so if you enter for your exams before 8 September for December exams or 8 March for June exams, you can save yourself (or your family or boss) some money.

The exam fees for early, standard and late exam entry are listed at the bottom of the page.

Quick and simple

• Entering for exams online is quick and convenient. You will receive instant confirmation that you have been entered for the exams, saving you valuable time to do more important things - like studying for them!

Please note the following:

• the early and late exam entry period only applies if you enter for exams online 
• discounts only apply for early online exam entry for ACCA and Foundations in Accountancy exams
• the new dates only apply to entries for paper-based exams held in June and December and not computer-based exams (CBEs) 
• the standard exam entry closing date, for both online and paper exam entries has now changed to 8 October for December exams and 8 April for June exams. If you register after this date, you will have to pay the late exam entry fee
• if you opt to still receive paper exam dockets, these will be sent out to you after the June and December exam results are released - around mid-August and mid-February 
• before entering for ACCA Qualification exams, please refer to the exam progression rules

If you're still not convinced registering online is the way to go and complete the paper-based exam entry form, this must be received at ACCA's exams department in the UK by the specified standard closing dates above. Please remember to allow time for postal delivery. We advise you to check with your local postal delivery service or visit our postal application page  to find out about postal delivery times to the UK
