How to Access the myACCA Portal
The myACCA portal is the single most important digital tool you will use throughout your ACCA journey. Every student — whether in Mumbai, London, or Dubai — uses the same portal. Think of it as your personal ACCA headquarters: exam bookings, fee payments, results, exemptions, study resources, and career tools all live here.
To access the portal, open your browser and visit www.accaglobal.com. Look for the "myACCA" link at the top-right corner of the homepage. Click it, and you will be taken to the login page. Enter your ACCA student ID (your registration number, typically a 7-digit number starting with zero) and your password. If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot your password?" and follow the reset instructions sent to your registered email.
We recommend bookmarking the direct myACCA login URL (www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/myacca.html) for quick access. During exam booking windows and results days, the portal experiences heavy traffic — having the direct link saved saves precious time.
Before You Log In: Checklist
- Your ACCA student ID (found on your registration confirmation email)
- Your password (case-sensitive)
- A stable internet connection
- An updated browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge — avoid Internet Explorer)
- Your registered email access (for two-factor authentication if enabled)
Dashboard Walkthrough: What You See After Login
Once logged in, the myACCA dashboard greets you with a clean, organised layout. Here is what each section contains and how to use it effectively:
Exam Status & Results
This is the section you will visit most often. It displays: (a) your exam history — all papers attempted with scores and pass/fail status, (b) upcoming booked exams with session dates, (c) exemptions awarded, and (d) progress tracker showing how many papers remain for qualification completion. Think of this as your academic transcript within ACCA.
My Payments
Here you can view all outstanding fees (annual subscription, exam fees, exemption fees), make payments using international debit/credit cards, download payment receipts, and view your complete payment history. This section is critical because ACCA does not send physical invoices — all fee communications happen through the portal.
Exam Entry
This is where you book your exams for each session. The interface shows available sessions (March, June, September, December), papers available in each session, fee structure (early/standard/late entry), and centre selection options. Once booked, your selections appear under Exam Status.
Exemptions
If you hold qualifications that make you eligible for paper exemptions (BCom, CA Inter, CMA, etc.), this is where you apply and track exemption requests. You can see which exemptions have been approved, which are pending, and upload supporting documents.
My Details
This section contains your personal profile — name, address, contact details, employment information, and communication preferences. Keeping this updated is essential because ACCA uses this information for all official communications, including exam dockets and results.
Practical Experience (PER)
The PER section helps you track your 36 months of supervised work experience. You can record your employment details, complete performance objectives, request mentor sign-offs, and monitor your progress toward the Practical Experience Requirement for membership.
Study Hub
Your subscription grants access to ACCA's Study Hub — a repository of practice questions, technical articles, examiner reports, syllabus guides, and past papers. This section links directly to those resources, organised by paper code.
How to Book Exams Through the myACCA Portal
Exam booking is one of the most time-sensitive tasks you will perform on myACCA. Missing a deadline by even one hour can mean waiting three months for the next session. Here is the complete step-by-step process:
Log In and Navigate to Exam Entry
Log in to myACCA and click on "Exam Entry" from the dashboard or main menu. Ensure your annual subscription is paid and your account is active — inactive accounts cannot book exams.
Select Your Exam Session
Choose from the four available sessions: March, June, September, or December. Each session has specific entry deadlines — early entry (lowest fees), standard entry, and late entry (highest fees, limited availability). Always aim for early or standard entry.
Choose Your Papers
Select the papers you want to attempt. The portal only shows papers you are eligible for (i.e., papers for which you have not already passed or claimed exemptions). For your first booking, start with Applied Knowledge papers (BT, MA, FA) which are also available as on-demand CBEs.
Select Exam Format and Centre
Choose between: (a) Centre-based exam at a physical exam centre in your city, or (b) Remote invigilated exam (where available). For centre-based exams, select your preferred city from the dropdown. The portal will show the nearest available centres.
Review and Confirm
Double-check your paper selection, exam centre, and fee breakdown. Ensure your name on the booking matches your ID proof exactly — any mismatch can prevent you from sitting the exam.
Make Payment
Pay the exam fees using an international debit or credit card (Visa/Mastercard). Save the payment confirmation and receipt. The booking is confirmed only after successful payment — do not close the browser until you see the confirmation screen.
Download Your Exam Docket
Approximately 2-3 weeks before the exam, your exam docket (admit card) becomes available for download under "Exam Status & Results." Print it and carry it to the exam centre along with a valid photo ID. The docket contains your centre address, reporting time, and desk number.

"Every January, we get panicked calls from students whose subscription lapsed and who can't book March exams. Set a calendar reminder for your subscription renewal — the portal won't warn you until it's too late. At Prepper Gurukul, we send proactive reminders to all our students 30 days, 15 days, and 7 days before their subscription is due."
How to Apply for Exemptions Through myACCA
If you hold a BCom degree, CA Inter qualification, or other recognised credential, you may be eligible for paper exemptions. Applying through myACCA is straightforward:
- Log in to myACCA and navigate to the "Exemptions" section from the dashboard.
- Click "Apply for Exemptions" and select your qualification type from the dropdown (e.g., BCom, CA Inter, CMA India, MBA).
- Upload official supporting documents: transcripts, degree certificates, and mark sheets. Ensure these are clear, colour scans in PDF format.
- Submit your application. ACCA's exemption assessment team will review your documents within 10-15 working days.
- Check the "Exemptions" section for updates. Approved exemptions will be reflected in your Exam Status, and you will receive an email confirmation.
- Pay exemption fees: £86 per Applied Knowledge paper and £114 per Applied Skills paper. These must be paid before you can claim the exemption officially.
Important: Exemptions are not automatic. ACCA assesses each application individually based on syllabus alignment. A BCom from one university may qualify for 5 exemptions, while the same degree from another may only qualify for 3. Upload complete transcripts — not just your degree certificate — to maximise your chances.
How to Pay Subscription Fees on myACCA
Your annual subscription (£140 for 2026) keeps your student account active. Without it, you cannot book exams, access study materials, or claim exemptions. Here is how to pay:
- Log in to myACCA and go to "My Payments" or "Fees and Charges".
- Review your outstanding balance. This will show your annual subscription plus any other pending fees (exam fees, exemption fees, etc.).
- Click "Make Payment" and enter your card details. ACCA accepts Visa and Mastercard debit/credit cards with international transaction capability.
- Confirm the payment. You will see a confirmation screen — save the receipt.
- The payment typically reflects in your account within 24 hours. Check "My Payments" to confirm.
Pro tip: Most Indian banks require you to activate international transactions on your debit card before it works on ACCA's payment gateway. Contact your bank 2-3 days before your planned payment to enable this. Alternatively, use a credit card which usually has international transactions enabled by default.
How to View Your Results on myACCA
ACCA releases exam results approximately 6 weeks after each session. Here are the confirmed 2026 result dates:
- March 2026 session: 11 April 2026
- June 2026 session: 13 July 2026
- September 2026 session: 19 October 2026
- December 2026 session: Mid-January 2027
To view your results, log in to myACCA and navigate to "Exam Status & Results". Click on "View Your Status Report" to see your complete exam history including the most recent scores. Results are displayed as a pass/fail status with your percentage score.
You can also opt to receive results by SMS: go to "Communication Preferences" in your profile settings and enable text notifications. You must do this at least 7 days before the results release date. Once enabled, all future results will be sent to your mobile automatically.

PER Tracking on myACCA
The Practical Experience Requirement (PER) is one of three components needed for ACCA membership (along with exams and the Ethics module). myACCA's PER section helps you track your progress:
- Record employment: Log your work experience details — employer name, role, start date, and responsibilities. You need 36 months of supervised experience in a relevant accounting/finance role.
- Performance objectives: Complete 9 performance objectives — 5 Essentials (ethics, stakeholders, strategy, etc.) and 4 Technical (chosen from a list based on your role). Each objective requires a written statement demonstrating how you met it.
- Mentor sign-off: Your workplace supervisor (practical experience supervisor) reviews and signs off on your PER entries through the portal. They must be a qualified accountant or senior professional who oversees your work.
- Progress tracker: The dashboard shows a visual progress bar indicating how many months and objectives you have completed versus what remains.
You can start accumulating PER from the day you register as an ACCA student. Many students begin recording PER while still in college through internships or part-time accounting roles. The key is to start early — do not wait until after your exams.
Study Hub Access Through myACCA
Your annual subscription includes access to ACCA's Study Hub — a comprehensive learning platform with resources for every paper:
- Practice questions: Hundreds of multiple-choice and constructed-response questions aligned to the syllabus, with detailed solutions.
- Technical articles: In-depth articles written by ACCA examiners on complex topics and recent syllabus changes.
- Examiner reports: Detailed analysis of common mistakes made by candidates in previous sessions — essential reading before every exam.
- Syllabus and study guides: Official syllabus documents showing exactly what is examinable for each paper.
- Past papers: Previous exam papers for practice (available for session-based exams).
To access Study Hub, log in to myACCA and look for the "Study Resources" or "Study Hub" link in the dashboard. Resources are organised by paper code (BT, MA, FA, PM, TX, etc.) making it easy to find what you need.
At Prepper Gurukul, we treat Study Hub as the revision layer — students use our structured classes to build concepts, then use Study Hub questions and examiner reports to fine-tune their exam technique in the final 4-6 weeks before exams.
How to Update Personal Details on myACCA
Keeping your personal details current is critical. ACCA sends all official communications — exam dockets, results notifications, fee reminders — to the contact details on file. Outdated information means missed deadlines.
To update your details: log in to myACCA, go to "My Details" or "Personal Information". Here you can update:
- Address: Keep this current for physical mail (though ACCA primarily uses email).
- Email: If you change your primary email, update it immediately. All results and fee communications go here.
- Phone number: Required for SMS results notifications.
- Employment details: Update as you change jobs — this affects your PER tracking.
- Name: If you need to change your name (marriage, legal name change), contact ACCA Connect directly with supporting documents.
Some changes (like name changes) require approval from ACCA and may take 5-7 working days to reflect. Plan ahead if you have upcoming exam bookings.
From Nagpur and Central India
The myACCA portal is your single point of contact with ACCA Global. Whether you're in Nagpur or New York, the process is identical — which is one of ACCA's strengths as a global qualification. At Prepper Gurukul, we help our Nagpur students navigate the portal for their first few logins, ensuring they know how to book exams, track exemptions, and set up payment methods. But once you're comfortable, you can manage everything independently from anywhere in the world.
