Assessment: calculators in examinations

Policy

When students are permitted to use calculators in a closed book final examination of a unit, a detailed description of the approved calculators must be included in the relevant unit guide given to students at the start of the semester. The description must be unambiguous for both students and invigilators at the examination venue.

Where a sticker system is used to identify permissible calculators, the unit guide should also include clear instructions about the place and timeframe for obtaining the sticker.
