We aren't running any calculator approval locations at the moment. This means that you won't be able to get your calculator approved.
The Student Centre is not able to approve calculators.
Before your exam make sure you bring a calculator from the approved list.
Your unit of study coordinator decides which kind of calculator, if any, can be used in your final in-person exam. This will be outlined on your personal exam timetable. You may need to get your calculator approved before you are allowed to bring it into your exam.
Types of calculators:
Any non-programmable calculators need to be approved if you want to use them in your exam. Upon being approved, your calculator will be marked with a sticker so your exam invigilator knows you’re allowed to use it.
Only calculators from the list of calculators below can be approved. Check the list each semester as it is subject to change. Even if you have a calculator from the list, you must have it approved before you can bring it to your exam.
Make sure that you understand the information about what you can bring into your in-person exams.
You can bring a bilingual dictionary into your exam if you have first had it checked and approved.
These guidelines have been developed to be fair and consistent by making sure the dictionaries don't offer assistance during exams other than pure translation of words.
Once your bilingual dictionary has been approved, it will be stamped with an official University of Sydney stamp and can be used in all exams that allow the use of bilingual dictionaries.
Your dictionary may be inspected before your exam begins to ensure it is free of information that could be used for cheating.
Dictionaries with these features will not be allowed in your exam:
The following table may be useful for identifying bilingual dictionaries.
