All students must have their calculator stickered as an "Approved Calculator" before using it in any tests and exams. You can purchase pre-approved/pre-stickered calculators from the Co-Op Bookshop on campus. Or, if you already own a calculator, the first step is to check to see that it appears on the approved calculators list below:
If your calculator appears on the list, the next step is to take it to have an "Approved Calculator" sticker attached to it. Calculators without the Faculty's "Approved Calculator" sticker cannot be taken into any examination or test. These stickers cannot be removed and placed onto another calculator.
