Permitted and Prohibited Aids During Exams

Your instructors will let you know in advance which aids are permitted for their exams (e.g. calculators without text storage function, dictionaries). You will also find this information in the syllabus of your courses, in the course catalog (VVZ). 

The following items are not permitted during any exam:

• Any electronic devices, especially cell phones, cameras, laptops, tablets, and smart glasses 

• Smartwatches 

• Watches of any kind, including alarm clocks and stopwatches 

• Hearing protection such as earplugs, earbuds, or headphones 

• Office supplies, such as correction fluid, erasers, highlighters, or rulers 

Before the start of your exam, any prohibited aids must be switched off (where applicable) and stored in a bag.

Ears must remain visible during exams; therefore, long hair must be tied back.
