Working with an Scanner-Reader Pen
A Scanner-Reader Pen will be loaned to you for use during all/any of your timed assessments. You are also welcome to use your Pen outside of timed assessments if it is useful for your general studying.
How to use your Pen
- Please familiarise yourself with how to use the Pen in advance of your assessments.
- You are responsible for making sure your Pen is fully charged ready for your assessments.
- You are responsible for ensuring your headphones are compatible with the Pen.
- If you forget your Pen, you would need to submit a Mitigating Circumstances claim.
- Unless you have an adjustment for an alternative exam room size, you will be using the Pen in a room with other students who may/may not be using a Pen too. Please be considerate of other students/Pen users around you.
