The purpose of this policy is to provide a level playing field for all students and to prevent the use of calculators with text storage, programming, and/or communication capabilities during midterms and exams. The specific regulation is:
Only Texas Instruments calculators with "TI-30X" in the model's name are approved ("Civil standard") calculators.
Note that the term "electronic device" includes, but is not limited to calculators, cell phones, electronic watches, computers, tablets, cameras, headphones, ear buds, any type of recording device, or any device capable of communicating with any other device.
The make and model of the calculator must be clearly legible. Any attempt to modify, deface, or replace the model number will be treated as an academic offense.
