1.2 Defnition of an Electronic Device in relation to UAP in an Examination

Students should carefully read the UAP Regulation 2.2 (iv) on what the University considers to be an electronic device - https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/academic-registry/handbook/regulations/uap/.

However, there will be several instances where some electronic devices do not fall within this category:

• electronic calculators specifically allowed in AU examinations – students will be advised when this is permitted;
• activity/heart-rate/fitness trackers of only the most basic type - for example the most basic ‘fitbits’ - that might monitor, record, store and display human body parameters, possibly even warn of external notifications, ONLY.  If there is any doubt, these devices will be removed while clarification of their capabilities is sought;
• particular electronic devices sanctioned by Student Support Services for an individual Individual Exam Requirement student (such as an electronic dictionary, Thesaurus or magnifier).
