Applying for ACCA Membership

Well that is disappointing”

I applied for membership on 16 January 2017 and still waiting for any response. I was under the impression the committee would meet this Friday. Hopefully I do not have to wait another week!

Desperate to explore the job market but only want to do so with my membership status.

When you login to MyACCA it should say something like “Graduate Waiting transfer to membership” at the top next to your membership number and you’d get an email saying your application is approved. This all needs to happen before the committee meeting. The committee meeting is a bit of a formality. It sounds like you’ve not been approved yet so it’s probably better that the meeting will be next week, not tomorrow.

Just got a mail that my membership has been approved. Am so so happy.

Congrats!

Keep checking online to see when you change to full member. I’d expect it late next week, assuming the committee meeting is February 2nd or 3rd.

I didn’t get any email when I got membership, I’m expecting that to come via the post at some point soon.

Technically you can’t use ACCA until the committee approves your membership.

The £95 is your fee for 2017 and was due at the beginning of the month. You also now owe £231 for moving from student to member. It just looks more expensive when you apply in January. If you’d applied in June you’d probably not even think about it 🙂

My status has changed now to member?

Excellent! Maybe they’re meeting weekly at the moment (it’s a busy time I guess after exam results)

Yes once myACCA shows you’re a member you can use ACCA designation.

Thanks

Mine also changed from graduate to member today. Happy days.

yes i applied

Hi, mine got approved yesterday. Wondering if there is likely to be a members meeting tomorrow – I hope so. Good luck to anyone else in my position

I submitted my application 16 January 2017, did my due diligence and called every working day since then to confirm all is in order and things are on track. Further to hopefully gain info on when the meeting is happening for approvals.

Finally yesterday on the 11th working day, I queried again concerned about the 11 days between application and approval and they contacted the members department who had never received my application due to a system error.

So like you I have just had my membership application approved yesterday, really hoping I do not need to wait another 10 working days for membership approval.

Disappointment of note, still cant use the designation. (Or apply to new job opportunities, or update Linkedin with my credentials.)

Mine now reads, ACCA graduate awaiting membership & when i track it says application complete awaiting transfer to member. cant wait.

A month after my application for membership I’m also officially a member!

Me too – such a blessed feeling

Congratulations mrafael and chisasula. I just submitted my application for membership yesterday so I guess I have a few weeks to wait yet before getting my member status.

Thank you,

I would seem every other Friday they meet and by the afternoon applications to membership are processed. However I noted that people were being admitted weekly after the recent exams so hopefully they are still meeting weekly for your case. Either way the trend seems to be next week Friday for you or the following Friday.

Congratulations!
