Illinois Administrative Code › Title 80 - PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES › Part 250 - STATE UNIVERSITIES CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM › Section 250.50 - Examinations

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Kinds of
			 Examinations. Each classification shall have a designated examination. Each
			 examination may have multiple components. A candidate who obtains a score on
			 the examination that is deemed to be passing will have his/her score placed on
			 either an original entry register or a promotional register. Examinations shall
			 be open and continuous competitive examinations. For the purpose of this
			 Section, an original entry and a promotional examination shall be considered to
			 be one and the same examination.
b)
			 Eligibility to Compete in Examinations
1) Any
			 citizen or resident of the State of Illinois who applies for examination in a
			 specific class at a constituent place of employment served by the University
			 System, who is not rejected or disqualified under subsection (c), and who meets
			 the minimum qualifications as prescribed in the class specification shall be
			 admitted to the examination. Out-of-state applicants may also be admitted for
			 examination in accordance with conditions outlined in subsection
			 (b)(6).
2) A status employee in a
			 place of employment who is not rejected or disqualified under subsection (c),
			 who meets the minimum qualifications specified in the class specification for a
			 higher class in the appropriate promotional line, and who is working by virtue
			 of a status appointment in a position of a lower class in the same promotional
			 line, is on leave of absence from that position, or is on layoff from that
			 position shall be admitted to an examination. An employee who obtains a passing
			 score will have his/her score placed on a promotional employment
			 register.
3) An applicant who fails
			 to meet the minimum qualifications established for the class, but who can offer
			 qualifications, that in the opinion of the Executive Director, are considered
			 to be compensatory, shall be admitted to the examination for the class. The
			 names of all applicants who pass the examination shall be placed on the
			 appropriate register in order of score.
4) In the absence of a name of a candidate on
			 any existing register for a class, an applicant who does not possess the
			 minimum qualifications for the class and cannot present compensatory
			 qualifications may be admitted with prior approval of the Executive Director to
			 the examination for the class for the purpose of attempting to fill a specific
			 vacancy. The name of an applicant so admitted, and who passes the examination,
			 shall remain on the register only until the specific vacant position has been
			 filled.
5) In accordance with the
			 Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) (
			 42 USC
			 12101), any applicant with a recognized
			 disability may receive an accommodation for any examination maintained by the
			 University System. These accommodations are to be administered in coordination
			 with requirements contained in the ADA, the State Universities Civil Service
			 Act and this Part, and other applicable policies at each employment
			 location.
6) For classes within the
			 01 professional, 02 semi-professional, 03 or managerial occupational areas for
			 which a broader recruitment base is typically applied, out-of-state residents
			 may be admitted to the examination and equally considered. In these instances,
			 when the Illinois citizenship or residency requirement is waived, out-of-state
			 candidates must establish Illinois residency within 180 calendar days after any
			 employment offer or final appointment.
7) Any applicant may complete an examination
			 for a class four times within any 12 month period, with at least one month time
			 lapse between every rewrite. The candidate's place on the register for the
			 class shall be determined by the highest score achieved on any examination for
			 the class.
