Calculators acceptable for use during quizzes, tests and examinations are intended to support the basic calculating functions required by most Arts and Science courses. For this purpose, the use of the Casio 991 series calculator is permitted. Students may also use calculators with a Gold Applied Science approval sticker or a Blue Commerce approval sticker as they are considered to be comparable to the Casio 991. Calculators with advanced features or substantial text storage capacity are not permitted unless otherwise approved by the instructor. Communicating calculators are banned.
