ACCA e-business website

ACCA want you to feel safe and secure when using the e-business website. The ACCA web servers are situated in a secure environment and protected by firewall security to ensure that unauthorised users cannot gain access, so only you will be able to access your account. Any information which you provide, such as name or credit card number, is encrypted so that it cannot be read or intercepted by anyone else.

How do I log in? What happens if I have lost my passcode?
To access the e-business services you will need your registration number and passcode. These are sent to all registered students on registration. If you have forgotten your passcode, you can request a new one through www.accaglobal.com. You will be asked to enter your registration number and confirm some personal details and a revised passcode will be e-mailed / posted to you within 24 hours.

After logging in you will be presented with the e-business homepage. The sidebar, which is on all e-business pages, shows the options available to view / update your details and pay fees.

The passcode you will have been provided with will be a four-digit number. If you prefer, you can change this by selecting ‘passcode’. Your new passcode must be more than four characters and less than 15 characters in length, and must consist of letters and / or numbers.

Viewing / updating address information
If you have moved house or job and need to update the address information that ACCA hold for you, you can do this by selecting the ‘addresses’ option. From here you can view your current address details and can choose to change this information. To do so click on the ‘change’ button, enter your new details then select ‘save changes’. To register or update an e-mail address choose ‘e-mail’. You will simply need to enter your e-mail address and select ‘save’.

How and when to pay annual subscription
Your first annual subscription is payable on 1 January following the date of your registration and thereafter on 1 January each year. However it can be paid as early as October / November for the following year. To make this payment online, select ‘payments’ from the sidebar and follow the simple instructions.

How and when to register for exams
For the June examinations your options will be made available mid-February. You will then have until 15 April to select your option.

For the December examinations your options will be made available mid-August. You will have until 15 October to select your option.

If you have decided to register for the examinations online you need to select the ‘examination options’ link which will show what options are available to you. After choosing an option you will immediately be presented with a payments page. After a successful payment, you will be presented with an electronic entry acknowledgement. Candidates who have registered online for examinations will not be required to send their examination entry form to ACCA.

How and when to register for exam results by e-mail
The option to register to receive your exam results by e-mail will only appear at certain times of the year, in May (for the June examinations) and November (for the December examinations). The deadline to register for this service is noon the day before results are released, for example – the June 02 diet results are released on 22 August – the deadline to register for the e-mail results service will be 12 noon on 21 August.

When this option is available there will be a prominent link within e-business saying ‘register for results via e-mail’. Visit this link, add your e-mail address where requested, tick the ‘Receive results via e-mail?’ box, then click on ‘Submit’. You will only have to do this once to receive your results by e-mail for all your future examination sessions.

The results will be e-mailed to you before 1600hrs BST the day the results are released. They will also be sent to you through the post, and published at 1600hrs BST on the e-business website. Please remember that the postal results are the only official notification of examination performance.

How to view exam results through e-business
The exam results will also be available to view through e-business by 1600hrs BST the day the results are released. The list of successful finalists will be publicly available on ACCA�s website from 0700hrs BST on Friday 23 August 2002. At this time links to view your examination results will be displayed prominently within e-business and accaglobal.com

Opt in / out Oxford Brookes
If you are a Professional Scheme student you will have been given the chance to opt in or out of the ACCA / Oxford Brookes Degree Partnership when you initially registered with ACCA. If you now want to opt in or out of the partnership you are able to do so by selecting the ‘personal’ option from the sidebar. You can also download the Research and Analysis Project Guidelines free of charge from the site.

Viewing personal details
Select ‘personal’ to view details you have already registered with ACCA such as name, date of birth and your examination papers variant or stream. These cannot be changed online as supporting documentation / evidence will be required before ACCA can make the necessary changes. You will need to notify ACCA in writing, enclosing supporting documentation or evidence where required.
