There's a fee for each exam that you're exempt from, if you want to claim your exemptions.

When you register as an ACCA student, you'll need to pay for any exemptions you're awarded and also your student registration fee.

After you become a student and your exemptions have been awarded, you will have 30 calendar days to pay for them before they become overdue. At this time you will be unable to enter for exams until you have paid your outstanding balance.

First, you need to see if you can claim any exemptions.

The easy way to do this is to use our Exemptions calculator.

After you've found your institution/body and course, you'll get a list of exemptions you might be eligible for.

Please note that there is a fee for each exam exemption you claim. You can check the cost on our fees page.

If you want to apply for exemptions, we'll need some documents from you. These need to detail what you've studied; where you studied; and what results you achieved.

As applications are online, we'll need documents that you can upload when you register.

We'll need proof of identity, which must include your date of birth, such as your:

• driver's licence; or
• national identification card; or
• passport; or
• birth certificate
  

Your qualification documents must:

• name your qualification(s)
• be signed and stamped by the awarding institution/body (including logo)
• include transcripts/marksheets detailing the subjects/module codes and the marks achieved
• show date of completion for full academic award or confirmation of years successfully completed
• your award certificate(s) and/or an official letter confirming completion

If you have changed your name after obtaining your qualification documentation please submit a copy of an official document for this change

So your application is as easy as possible, check that you:

1. have copies of all your qualification documents
2. have your proof of identification
3. are ready to pay for your student registration  

Got everything you need? Then it's time to register as a student.

If you've calculated your exemptions and have your documents, it's time to register as a student.

You can apply for your exemptions as part of the registration process.

You'll need to upload your documents, so make sure you have them ready.

You'll also need proof of your identity, such as a driver's licence or passport.

Initial applications are processed within five days. We'll email you if we need more details to process your application.
