Hi No actully they take the ending date of the qualification.
And everywhere else as accredtion for prior learning they take the ending date of graduation.
So i am safe and have a lot of time.
Although i take things responsibily but still the time frame limit can at times be discouraging.
So i post them a number of queries and now they answered me it is end of your graduation which we take into account.June 23, 2018 at 4:00 am #459761Hello everyone…
1) I have completed my Undergraduate studies and have registered with acca through my UG documents ( Documents are in English ). will my documents deemed fit for English proficiency for OBU degree or should I provide my High School Certificate/12th Grade?
June 23, 2018 at 10:28 am #459803It is s best to check with the ACCA BSc Office at acca@brookes.ac.uk
as the rules since the F4 paper was replaced are quite complexIt is important that you have opted in to the OBJ degree programme and established eligibility with regard to your English qualification before sitting F7/8/9 (or the new equivalents of them) otherwise you will not be allowed on to the programme. Unfortunately these rules are rigid so better to sort it all out now than be disappointed later.
August 9, 2018 at 11:03 am #467079While joining ACCA, I had opted in for Bsc Hons . I booked for F7 exam this september and the dockets will to be out in few days so there is no way of cancellation. Since I am from the country that needs to provide with English certificate and was planning to do IELTS after this examination,but recently got to know that IELTS certificate had to be provided before sitting for F7(FR) ,F8(AA),F9(FM). Are there any steps so that I can gain Bsc.Hons ?
August 9, 2018 at 2:12 pm #467091Yes, probably not pass the exam until you have satisfied the language requirements!
Check with acca@brookes.ac.uk but normally if you pass either F7/8/9 before satisfying the English requirements you are not able to enter the degree programme. So if you really want to get the BSc you will have to cut your losses on this one and sort out the English language requirements immediately. As you haven’t sat and passed F7 there may still be time if you get a move on….
August 17, 2018 at 5:51 pm #468288How can i submit OBU english proficiency i.e. IELTS?? From myacca account or somewhere else? Thanks in advance.
August 18, 2018 at 8:44 am #468329Contact acca@brookes.ac.uk about this sooner rather than later as you need to sort this out before passing F7/8/9
October 10, 2018 at 7:02 am #477010I have currently completed 7 ACCA fundamental papers (f1 – f7). Can I undertake brookes b.sc project now and submit once I complete my fundamental level ?
October 10, 2018 at 12:20 pm #477014The main issue probably relates to having ensured that you had provided evidence of English language ability before F7. So did you satisfy the English language requirements before passing F7? If you didn’t then there could be problems as you need to have proved English ability before passing F7/8/9. If you did provide appropriate evidence before passing these then you should be eligible.
Any queries about eligibility need to be made to acca@brookes.ac.uk
October 18, 2018 at 2:56 pm #479113hi my last eligibility for exam acca is June 2019.
i have passed f1-f9 but going to do the OBU and submit for the May 2019.
By the time the RAP & BSC result out is September 2019, my acca membership already expired.
What is my situation?
please advice as i am not keen to take the P level papers already & not much time left also. Will i still get my OBU degree cert if i passed the OBU thesis.
October 27, 2018 at 6:18 pm #479972Hello,
I have passed ACCA F7 (FR) and I am working towards passing my AA and FM papers. I am however worried that I have not met the eligibility criteria regarding proficiency in English Language, for the RAP registration and submission.
I am from Nigeria and I remember that I submitted a degree from a Nigerian university to ACCA during my initial registration.
I also have an MSc. Forensic Accounting from a UK university. I got this degree before passing F7.October 27, 2018 at 7:26 pm #479975I left out information that I had at the point of applying for exemptions, opted into the OBU BSc programme on the ACCA website.
October 30, 2018 at 7:30 am #480192Please contact acca@brookes.ac.uk as only they can give you a reliable answer
January 1, 2019 at 4:52 pm #499598Hi,
Could anyone please tell me where do I send my English certificate for OBU.
ThanksJanuary 2, 2019 at 8:06 am #499643Contact acca@brookes.ac.uk and they will deal with your query. If you passed F4 before it changed to being a multi-choice paper in 2014 then your English proficiency was proved by that.
January 2, 2019 at 3:29 pm #499696Hi, I will be giving FR exam in March’2019 attempt, and I wanted to ask as it is stated on ACCA website that we need to opt for the OBU degree before passing the last 3 exams.
So if I book the exam of FR by January and give my English Language requirement test in Februrary and submit it to ACCA or OBU (i am not aware of who to send the script) in Feb will I still be eligible for OBU bachelor’s degree?January 3, 2019 at 8:34 am #499750I believe that will be fine -as long as proficiency in English is proven before any of those papers are passed and you have opted into the degree programme.
However check with acca@brookes.ac.uk as they administer the rules (and will provide details of where and how the certificate should be submitted).
January 4, 2019 at 4:12 pm #499991Hi everyone, I wasn’t so clear regarding the english proficiency requirement hence I ended up calling ACCA.
They informed me that for being eligible for OBU you need to do the following.
-Have the required English proficiency evidence, it could be either of those mentioned on the website of OBU. https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Students/bsc/recognised-english-language-qualifications-september-2017.pdf
-Have the required english proficiency evidence submitted to ACCA BEFORE the results of the following exams appear as PASS i.e. FR/F7, AA/F8 and FM/F9. If either of them appear as pass, unfortunately you cannot go ahead for OBU
-You do not automatically appear as opt in, you need to send the english proficiency evidence, that is the eligibility for opting in.
-Hence after you are opted in, with your language evidence submitted, pass the last exams i.e. FR, AA, and FM.
-Starting preparing the RAP and SLS and submit whatever Submit session is appropriate for you.So please for all those students that are about to give F7/FR, F8/AA or/and F9/FM in the March’19 attempt you MUST submit the evidence before 15 APRIL 2019. Thank you
I hope everyone is cleared, because I wasn’t until I called ACCA, as the moderator said here quite alot (sorry for continuous similar questions), the admin matters are better solved if we talk with ACCA directly and than forward and help others to understand.January 4, 2019 at 5:59 pm #500008Thank you so much tasbihak for taking the time and trouble to post the detail above. We do try to help where we can, but as you have found out for yourself -it is always best to go straight to the people who know as their information is the most reliable!
January 14, 2019 at 2:48 am #501464Hi guys,
I failed to login into OBU website to check whether I can or cannot to do OBU project.
When I login the correct ACCA number and password, the website shows invalid login. What actually the problem is? Is that the OBU website now cannot login?January 14, 2019 at 8:52 am #501637The issue is that the OBU-ACCA website has been suspended following issues in November.
The only way to get any information about status and past feedback is via email. The address is acca@Brookes.ac.uk
Set out your query clearly. In older to submit you (a) have to be within the 10 year limit since registration with ACCA, (b) have proved your proficiency in English before passing F7/8/9 and (c) are opted into the programme. You must also pass the Ethics module (if not already passed) by about 28 March 2019.
January 16, 2019 at 10:38 pm #502356Hi i want to know if im still eligible to do OBU degree project :
i passed F1-F8 already, left final paper F9 & the OBU project.
My last eligibility date to sit exam is this coming June 2019.
i know i am running out of time if i take F9 exam this March 2019 & the OBU project class.
is it possible to request acca to extend my eligibility date so that i can pass my f9 & do the OBU project
please advice
thanks
January 17, 2019 at 6:52 am #502380It probably depends on when you provided evidence of proficiency in English. See the answers above and contact acca@brookes.ac.uk who are the ones who will be able to confirm your eligibility.
If you are eligible start immediately, pause for your exam and resume after sitting your paper – you may just about be able to do it if you are committed enough so think about your possible topic right now!
Good luck!
January 20, 2019 at 11:55 am #502767I just gave my IELTS and I’m not sure that I’ll score a 6 band in Speaking. My question is that do we Have to Score a 6 band overall or Individually in IELTS
January 21, 2019 at 3:21 am #502851Hi,
I have answered your query in the General Forum.. Here
https://opentuition.com/topic/english-requirement-for-bsc-obu-acca/A humble request, please refrain from posting the same question across multiple forums. There is normally one forum which is most suitable in which to post your question.
Thank you. - AuthorPosts
