The degree must be completed within 10 years
of your initial registration onto ACCA’s professional
qualification otherwise your eligibility will be withdrawn.
If you are unsure on your eligibility for the
BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree, then you should firstly
refer to
myACCA which will tell you whether or not you have
opted in to the degree scheme and whether or not you are
eligible.
If you are not eligible for the degree
programme, then it will be for one of the following reasons:
You enrolled with ACCA before the BSc
(Hons) in Applied Accounting degree was introduced
|
When the degree programme was introduced in
2000/2001, all eligible registered students were required to
opt into the degree scheme by November 2001. Any student who
did not do so, would have been automatically withdrawn.
|
|
If you registered with ACCA prior to 2001,
have yet to complete Papers F7-F9 and are within 10 years of
your initial registration date, please contact ACCA
Connect to opt into the degree programme. |
You ticked the box on your ACCA
registration form stating you did not wish to join the Oxford
Brookes University degree programme
|
If you are yet to complete Papers F7, F8 and
F9, you may opt back in to the BSc degree by contacting
ACCA Connect. |
|
If you have already passed ANY of Papers F7,
F8 or F9, then unfortunately it is now too late to opt back
into the degree programme. |
|
If you hold exemptions for any of Papers
F7-F9, then you may contact ACCA Connect to forfeit these in
order to remain eligible. This must be done before sitting
any of the other core Papers of F7-F9 - once you
have forfeited your exemption you cannot reverse this
decision. |
You do not hold a suitable English
language qualification
|
Providing you complete Paper F4, then this
will be acceptable. Oxford Brookes University deems Paper F4
as proof of English proficiency therefore you should
complete this exam and opt in with ACCA before passing
Papers F7-F9. |
You enrolled with ACCA over 10 years
ago
|
The BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree
has a 10 year deadline starting from a student’s initial
registration date with ACCA. If this has expired in your
case, we regret that you are no longer eligible to complete
the degree with us. |
If you wish to enquire about your eligibility
to complete the BSc degree, please contact
ACCA Connect. Please include your ACCA student
registration number in any correspondence.
