Two weeks before the exams for semester and trimester exams, and 5 days before the exams for deferred and supplementary exams, your personal timetable in studentConnect will show the materials your Unit Coordinator has permitted you to bring into the exam (including whether use of an approved calculator is permitted).
Unauthorised material cannot be in your pocket, on your person or on your desk or chair in the exam.?Instead, turn your phone and any other unauthorised electronic devices off, place the unauthorised items in your bag and place your closed bag under your desk or chair. If you do not have a bag, turn off your phone/electronic device(s) and place it on the floor under your desk or chair along with any other unauthorised items.
If you have an analogue watch, remove it and place it on the desk in front of you. All other watches must be turned off and placed in your closed bag or under your desk or chair.
If you are found to have unauthorised material in an examination, in whatever form, in your pocket, on your person, on your desk or chair, or in your pocket or on your person en route to / from the toilets, the matter is reported, via Student Administration, to your student advising office and disciplinary action is normally taken against you regardless of whether the material has been used at the time it is found.
If you're unsure about an item or have a question, email the Exams team via askUWA before your exam day.
