    Does the new 7 year rule apply to old students aswell?

    From what ACCA have said:

    ”Under the current rules, students are removed from the register if they have not completed the exams within 10 years of their initial registration date.

    The new seven year time rule at Professional level will apply to any new students registering with ACCA who are given March 2016 as their first eligible exam session. (ACCA will be offering four paper exam sessions in March, June, September and December by 2016).”

    Hope this helps!

    No Avnish it does’t help because it is absolute rubbish.
    Please don’t post if you don’t have a clue what you are talking about your only motive is to cause unnecessary stress to students.

    The new seven year rule applies to all students Vassahard I suggest you check on the ACCA website for accurate information.

    “All current students on the register will have been given a last exam session date which is 10 years from when they initially registered. Under the new rules, if you have not completed the exams by your last session date you will not be removed from the register. However, you will lose any passes you may have achieved at the Professional level if you passed them more than seven years ago so these exams will have to be retaken. All Professional Level exams must be passed within a 7 year period.”

    Thank you all for your response.

    I read the acca statement several times but it seems very unclear because they haven’t update my account. I have contacted acca and awaiting for a response.

    Presumably they mean the professional papers will be removed on this rolling basis.Otherwise it seems to contradict my understanding of previous information on this subject.

    dear
    also i email acca
    and they rDear Mr Elnayal Koko

    Thank you for your email.

    I can confirm that in June 2017 your Professional Level exam passes older than 7 years will expire if you have not completed all of your exams. All Professional exams must be passed within a 7 year period.

    It is important that there is a rule in place – the faster a student progresses through the examinations, the more likely they are to succeed as learning from previous exams is fresh. Furthermore, employers tell us that they really value currency of knowledge.

    I can advise that there is no time limit for students to complete their Fundamental level exams.
