Title 2.2 Verification of Educational Requirements
Manual C. Examination Procedures
Subsection 2. Admission of Applicants
Status Revised 10/19/2021

The employer is responsible for obtaining a signature from the applicant (i.e., Application form) that the answers on the application are true and correct and that misrepresentation or omission of facts requested on the application may cause rejection of the application.

For classifications where the Minimum Acceptable Qualifications (MAQs) include college course work, the employer shall verify the educational qualifications made by the Applicant on their signed Application form prior to the date of the appointment.

In verifying minimum qualifications, the employer shall use the applicant’s application materials to determine if the applicant meets the minimum qualifications of the position. The employer may request additional materials, e.g. resume, transcripts, verification of work experience, licenses, or certifications.

General Education Development Test (GED Test)
Applicants lacking high school graduation from an accredited high school, who otherwise meet the minimum qualifications for the class, may compensate for the lack of high school graduation by passing the General Education Development (GED) Test.
