Approved calculators

Students studying at the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science must use an approved calculator during exams. Students who are not enrolled in a course at the Gina Cody School must go to their home department to request a sticker.

You will not be permitted to write an exam using a calculator that is not on the approved list.

To verify that your calculator is an approved model, you must bring it to the Gina Cody School Service Centre at H-964 or EV007.182, where it will be inspected and a sticker will be applied confirming it is approved for use during an exam.

Notes

• If your calculator is on the approved list, a sticker will be affixed (usually on the front).
• If your calculator is not on the approved list, you must obtain a different approved model.
• The Casio FX-300MS and Sharp EL-531XG calculators are available for purchase at the bookstore. On the purchase of either of these models, the cashier will affix a sticker to it.
• You may purchase an approved calculator off campus but you must return to H-964 or EV007-182 with the calculator for verification and a sticker.
