For chem I obviously need a calculator, do I have to get a sticker on it from the science student centre or something before my exam?

I got mine approved, it only takes 2 seconds if you go to ERC. Having said that if you're using the green ti-nspire they're probably not gonna check since they already know it's approved.

I never got mine approved (for chemistry or physics in first year). I've read engineering students need it, never seen it asked of non-engineering students.
