Important dates and deadlines

You will be able to log into your 'My CIMA' account and enter for the November 2008 exams from 1 August 2008.

Within 24 hours of entering, you should receive an email confirmation of your entry. If you don't receive this, please access your exam entry online and check your entry carefully.

If all the papers you want to sit are displayed, you do not need to do anything else apart from post payment if you did not pay online. If your entry is not displayed then it is likely that you did not complete your entry. You will need to start again.

The standard closing date for entry into the November 2008 exams is midnight BST 15 September 2008.

If you enter after this date, it will only be accepted as a late entry and you will have to pay an additional late entry fee. The late entry deadline is midnight BST on 22 September.
