ACCA June 2026 Exam Entry Deadline: 16 April Is Final (No Late Entry)
If you haven't entered for your ACCA June 2026 exam, you have six days. The deadline is 16 April 2026, and there is no late entry for this session. Miss it and your next sitting is September.
This isn't the usual "book early to avoid the fee" nudge. June 2026 is the first full mainstream session without remotely invigilated exams for most students, so there is real pressure on centre seats — and no back door once the window closes.
Why 16 April is a hard stop
ACCA has confirmed the standard exam entry deadline for June 2026 is 16 April, with no late entry period at all. Unlike September and December, there is no final week where you pay a premium and still squeak in. If your booking isn't submitted and paid for by 23:59 UK time on 16 April, your next available session is September 2026 — a three-month delay on your qualification plan.
Remote exams are gone — this changes your booking strategy
From March 2026, ACCA ended session-based remotely invigilated exams following a review into AI-enabled cheating. That means almost everyone now sits at a physical centre. The knock-on effect is simple: centre seats in the popular cities (London, Manchester, Dublin, Lagos, Karachi, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore) fill up faster than they used to, and the "I'll just book remote at the last minute" safety net is gone.
You are booking against a larger pool of candidates chasing the same finite desks. Leaving it to Thursday 16 April is not a plan.
Which papers are affected
June is the broadest session of the year — every session-based paper runs: PM, TX, FR, AA, FM, SBL, SBR, AFM, APM, ATX and AAA. BT, MA, FA and LW remain on-demand CBEs and don't have a June deadline, so ignore this article for those four. If you're sitting anything from PM upwards, this deadline is yours.
Wrong move vs right move
Wrong move: Log into MyACCA on 15 April, pick your paper, hit pay, close the tab. You've entered — but you haven't checked whether a seat in your city actually exists. Seats are allocated separately and can sell out before the entry deadline. Students did this in March 2026 and ended up travelling three hours to a different centre.
Right move: Open a second tab. Check the ACCA exam availability and booking page for your country before you pay. Confirm there's a seat at your preferred centre on a date you can actually get to. Then book the entry. If your centre is full, pick the next closest one now rather than discovering it on exam morning.
What to do this week
1. Open MyACCA today and check your status. Confirm your annual subscription is paid, your CPD is clean, and there are no blocks on your account. Students get caught out by unpaid subs every single session — the booking will not go through.
2. Pick your centre before you pay the entry fee. Use the ACCA exam availability tool, pick a centre and a specific date in the 1–5 June window, then return to MyACCA to submit the entry. Do it in that order.
3. Don't enter a paper you haven't started studying. June results drop on 13 July. If you're reading this in April with no textbook open, sitting September with eight weeks of proper prep will almost always beat sitting June on a prayer — and the £129 entry fee is not worth a 30% mark.
The numbers
The global ACCA session-based pass rate hovers around 50% across SBR, FR, AA and PM. Roughly half the people walking into those centres in June will pass — the half who were entered, prepared, and sitting the right paper at the right time. The other half usually includes the ones who booked in panic on deadline day.
Six days. One deadline. No late entry. Book it properly, or plan for September — but decide this week.
