What happens if my application is approved?
If your application is approved, you will receive a written notice, which will include specific information regarding the examination to be given. If you have a mental or physical impairment, which requires special accommodations for testing, it is your responsibility to notify the Human Resource Director on behalf of the Civil Service Commission in a reasonable amount of time before the test date. The Human Resource Director will then review such a request on its individual merit.
