Transcripts: If you are using education to qualify, you must submit a copy of all relevant college transcripts. An unofficial copy is sufficient with the application if it includes your name and the necessary course information; however, if you are selected, you will be required to submit official transcripts prior to entering on duty. Education must have been obtained from an accredited school, college or university.

If your education was completed at a foreign institution, you must submit evidence that the institute was appropriately accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as equivalent to U.S. education standards. There are private organizations that specialize in this evaluation, and a fee is normally associated with this service. For a list of private organizations that evaluate education, visit the NACES website. All transcripts must be in English or include an English translation.

Veterans' Preference: To claim Veterans' Preference, you must submit a DD-214, Certificate of Release from Active Duty, which shows dates of service and must show you were discharged under honorable conditions.

If you are currently on active duty, you must submit a certification of expected discharge or release from active duty service under honorable conditions not later than 120 days after the date the certification is submitted. Veterans' Preference must be verified prior to appointment. Without this documentation, you will not receive Veterans' Preference, and your application will be evaluated based on the material you submit.

If you claim 10-point Veterans' Preference, you must provide the DD-214 or certification requirements and proof of entitlement as listed on the SF-15 Application for 10-point Veterans' Preference. The SF-15 should be included but it is not required. Failure to submit these documents could result in the determination that there is insufficient documentation to support your claim for 10-point preference.

schools accredited by accrediting institutions recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Failure to provide all of the required information as stated in this vacancy announcement may result in an ineligible rating or may affect the overall rating.
