Online Notice of School Assignment ONSA). ONSA shall be available via the CSC website

a printout of their Notice of School Assignment using ONSA for their personal reference, but, this is
not mandatory and is not a requirement.
Note: The CSC does not recognize and is not liable for any other postings on any
other websites that are not affiliated with, or are engaged in the unauthorized

read thoroughly, and fully understand the Examinee’s Guide.
Furthermore, the Examinee’s Guide is intended to the exclusive use of examinees. Thus,
examinees are warned/cautioned NOT to re-distribute their copy of the guide on their Facebook

D AT A P R I V AC Y N O T IC E
The information solicited from, and provided by, the applicants of civil service examinations
mainly through CS Form No. 100 (Application for Civil Service Examination) shall be handled and
used particularly for examination related processing as well as for policy development/review,
research, and study purposes, according to appropriate provisions of RA No. 10173 or the Data
Privacy Act of 2012. Moreover, the information especially those of civil service examination
passers may be shared with or indorsed to government agencies essentially for
recruitment/employment purposes.
DISCL AI MER
The CSC neither holds any review class nor publishes or distributes any review material for
any civil service examination. Further, the CSC does not accredit and has not accredited any
individual, group, or review center for the purpose of producing/publishing and/or
distributing/marketing/selling any review material, and of offering and holding review
sessions/classes to prospective civil service examinees. Availing of any such product/service
shall be one’s personal option and accountability.
The Civil Service Commission uses a highly reliable system to detect cheats.
Cheating refers to any act or omission before, during, or after any civil service examination that
will directly or indirectly undermine the sanctity and integrity of the examination. Any form of
cheating in any civil service examination has been declared criminally and administratively
punishable under Republic Act No. 9416 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations. Cheating
comes in forms such as, but not limited to, the following:
1. Use of crib sheets or “codigo” containing codes in any form (written on any material or
in digital form)
2. Impersonation
3. Employing a “poste” or a person inside or outside of the examination room who may or
may not be an examinee but provides examinees with answers
4. Collusion of whatever nature between examinees and examination personnel
5. Examinee number switching
6. Unauthorized possession / use / reproduction / dissemination of examination-
related materials
7. Possession / use of fake Eligibility
8. Such other acts of similar nature which facilitate the passing of examination
Bringing of the test booklet outside of the testing room/venue is strictly prohibited. The
examination, or test results, of those found violating this rule shall be cancelled.
Moreover, the CSC strongly denounces and strongly discourages the act of sharing and
disseminating test questions and the suggested answers thereto, including sharing and
posting the same online such as in social media applications and other platforms, and
such other means that tend to directly or indirectly undermine or threaten the sanctity and
integrity of the Civil Service examinations.
