MELBOURNE SCHOOL
OF ENGINEERING
CALCULATOR
POLICY
Examination and tests in the Melbourne School of Engineering are to be marked on the front
page with one of these three alternative instructions:
1. All calculators may be used
2. Only Faculty approved calculators may be used
3. No calculators may be used
Prior to any text or examination, the examiner for that subject must inform students of the
policy that applies in that subject, using as many as possible of the following methods of
communication: statement in the introductory handout; announcement via the subject
webpage; announcement in the lecture prior to the test or exam; and example instructions
given to students as part of a practice test or exam.
“School approved” calculators are calculators that only have basic arithmetic and memory
(storage) capabilities. These calculators can include built-in trigonometric and logarithmic and
statistical functions, but may NOT be programmable (i.e. calculators in which the user can store
a sequence of operations that the calculator can execute automatically are not permitted); may
not be graphical; may NOT have the ability to store text, or other information; and must not be
able to communicate with other devices (via infrared, Bluetooth or similar).
Students in the Melbourne School of Engineering will be expected to have access to one of the
“School/Faculty approved” calculators in the list on the next page. Students must take this
calculator to the Engineering Student Centre to have an official MSE sticker applied to their
calculator. Calculators without this sticker attached may not be taken into any examinations or
tests for which the Examiner has designated as “Only School/Faculty approved calculators may
be used”. The official MSE stickers may not be transferred from one calculator to another.
The current list of approved calculator models is provided on the following page.
Please note:
•
•
•
This list is non-negotiable. Please do not ask to have other calculator models added
The model number must correspond exactly with a model on this list for a sticker to
be provided
Stickers are tamper evident. Any attempt to remove a sticker will render the
approval void.
