Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Admitting applicants to examinations. The
			 applicant shall be notified of the necessary arrival time to sit for the
			 examination or interview. The qualifications listed in the job posting shall be
			 followed in determining admittance to competitive or non-competitive
			 examinations.
(B) Extension of time
			 in examinations. No applicant in any examination shall be given a longer time
			 on any subject than prescribed by the director or designee. The director or
			 designee may establish separate time limits for the individual accommodation of
			 disabled applicants.
(C) Visitors
			 at examinations. No visitor shall be admitted to the examination room during
			 any examination except by special permission of the examiner in
			 charge.
(D) Changing of grades. No
			 grades given in any examination shall be changed after the posting of an
			 eligible list, provided that the director or designee may correct errors of
			 examiners or employees at any time before the cancellation of such
			 lists.
(E) Postponement or
			 cancellation of examinations. Examinations, unless canceled or postponed, must
			 be held upon dates fixed by the director or designee. A scheduled examination
			 may be canceled or postponed by order of the director or designee, for adequate
			 reason. Reasonable efforts shall be made to notify each approved applicant of
			 cancellation or postponement.
(F)
			 Credit for military service. When proper proof of military service, as defined
			 in section 124.23 of the Revised Code, is
			 presented to the director or designee and the applicant, being a resident of
			 Ohio and otherwise eligible, has received a passing grade in any examination
			 for original appointment, he or she shall be granted additional credit of
			 twenty per cent of such grade, thereby receiving a final grade of twenty per
			 cent higher in view of the above-mentioned service. The applicant must submit
			 proof of honorable discharge or honorable separation from active military
			 service prior to participation in the examination.
(G) Credit for reserve component status. A
			 member in good standing of a reserve component of the armed forces of the
			 United States, including the Ohio national guard, who successfully completes
			 the member's initial entry-level training shall receive a credit of fifteen per
			 cent of the person's total grade given in the examination in which the person
			 receives a passing grade. The applicant must submit proof that the applicant
			 successfully completed entry-level training. An applicant who receives credit
			 under paragraph (F) of this rule is not eligible to receive an additional
			 credit as a member in good standing of a reserve component.
(H) Repeating examinations. An applicant who
			 has competed in a civil service examination may not repeat that examination or
			 take an examination for the same classification within four months from the
			 date of original examination, unless an alternative form of examination is
			 given, or unless other standards are specified in the examination
			 announcement.
