WHEN WILL THE NEW TIME LIMIT RULE TAKE EFFECT?

　　All current students on the register will have been given a last exam session date which is 10 years from when they initially registered. Under the new rules, if you have not completed the exams by your last session date you will not be removed from the register. However, you will lose any passes you may have achieved at the Professional level if you passed them more than seven years ago so these exams will have to be retaken. All Professional Level exams must be passed within a 7 year period.

　　If you are currently doing the Professional level, have passed your first Professional level examination prior to 2011 and do not anticipate completing the Professional level prior within your last exam session date – email us at students@accaglobal.com

　　New students registering with ACCA

　　The new seven year time rule at Professional level will apply to any new students registering with ACCA who are given March 2016 as their first eligible exam session. (ACCA will be offering four paper exam sessions in March, June, September and December by 2016).

　　OXFORD BROOKES DEGREE AND TIME LIMITS

　　Please note if you want to achieve the Oxford Brookes BSc degree in Applied Accounting, the degree must be completed within 10 years of your initial registration on the ACCA Qualification otherwise your eligibility will be withdrawn. This rule remains unchanged.
