December 2026 Exam Details
December 2026 Session
ACCA confirms that it runs four exam sessions each year, including December. Use this section for December 2026, but keep the exact deadlines, result date, and paper-by-paper timetable unpublished on your page until ACCA adds them to the same source pages.
Safe wording for now: “December 2026 is part of ACCA’s annual exam cycle. This page will be updated with exact entry deadlines, timetable and result date as soon as ACCA publishes the December 2026 details.”
Registration Deadlines and Booking Rules
Registration and amendments should be handled through the ACCA booking system and myACCA. ACCA advises students to book during the standard entry window to access the lowest exam fees and to avoid centre availability issues.
- Log in to myACCA and open the session exam booking area.
- Select your session: March, June, September, or December.
- Choose your papers carefully to avoid timetable clashes.
- Book before the standard deadline wherever possible.
- Download your attendance docket once released.
- Do not rely on remote session exams as a universal option from March 2026 onward.
Remote exam rule for 2026: From March 2026, ACCA says remote session exams are being withdrawn and will only remain available in countries where ACCA does not have exam-centre provision. Do not claim that all students can take all session exams from home.
ACCA Exam Fees 2026
Keep this section as fee guidance, not a single universal official fee table, because ACCA’s fees page requires users to select their country or region. That means fees can vary by location and exam type.
What to say on-page
“ACCA exam fees are location-dependent. For the latest official pricing, check ACCA’s fees page using your country or region selector.”
What not to say
Do not present one global fee table in GBP, INR, and AED and label it “official” for every region.

Optional wording for this section: “Students should always use the official ACCA fees page for their own region. Session exam fees, subscription fees, and exemptions may differ by location and are subject to ACCA updates.”

Frequently Asked Questions
ACCA’s published 2026 session dates currently confirm March 2–6, June 1–5, and September 7–11. ACCA also confirms December as one of its four annual exam sessions, but this page should only show exact December 2026 deadlines and results once ACCA publishes them.
The standard exam entry deadline for the June 2026 session is 16 April 2026. There is no late entry period for that session.
No. ACCA’s fees page uses a country or region selector, so your page should present fee guidance and link users to ACCA’s current pricing page rather than show one universal “official” fee table.
No. ACCA says March and September offer Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams with limited variants. June and December offer all variants of these exams except certain on-demand-only exams.
Not as a blanket rule. ACCA says that from March 2026 remote session exams are being withdrawn and will only be available where ACCA has no exam-centre provision.

ACCA states that it runs four main exam sessions a year: March, June, September, and December.
Keep everything on one URL, keep the ACCA source links visible near the top, remove duplicate pages, and update the December section only when the primary ACCA pages publish those details.
