How do I make arrangements for religious accommodation?

Candidates whose religious convictions prohibit them from testing on the regularly scheduled examination date may qualify to take the exam on an alternate date. Requests for accommodation based on religious faith must meet the following requirements:
  • You must notify CPS in writing each time you apply to take an exam with accommodation based on religious faith.
     
  • The deadline for submitting requests for accommodation is the same as the deadline for applying to take the exam (see schedule). CPS encourages you to submit your request and documentation well in advance of the exam registration deadline in case questions arise regarding the request or the documentation submitted in support of that request. Be sure your request contains all supporting documentation. Incomplete requests and requests received after the applicable deadline will not be considered.
     
  • To register for an alternate test date for religious reasons, a candidate must submit the Religious Accommodation Request Form (128k PDF) and a letter of explanation confirming his or her affiliation with a recognized religious body that observes its Sabbath on the scheduled day of the exam. The letter must be signed by a rabbi, minister, or other cleric and be on the cleric's letterhead. The request form and letter must be submitted directly to:
    CPS
    Attn: SIA - ADA
    241 Lathrop Way
    Sacramento, CA 95815
  • CPS will then notify you directly to let you know what your accommodation will be. The exam for approved candidates will be held after the regularly scheduled exam.


How do I make arrangements for ADA accommodations?

CPS provides reasonable accommodations for individuals who have one or more documented disabilities within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Please review the ADA Guidelines. If you have a documented disability covered under the ADA and require test accommodations, the following requirements apply:
  • You must notify CPS in writing each time you apply to take a CPS exam.
     
  • The deadline for submitting requests for accommodations is the same as the deadline for applying to take the exam (see schedule). CPS encourages you to submit your request and documentation well in advance of the exam registration deadline in case questions arise regarding the request or the documentation submitted in support of that request.
     
  • You must complete all required documentation and submit it with your request. Incomplete requests and requests received after the registration deadline will not be considered. The Questionnaire for Candidates Requesting Test Accommodations (244k pdf) must be submitted directly to:
    CPS
    Attn: SIA - ADA
    241 Lathrop Way
    Sacramento, CA 95815
  • CPS will then notify you directly to let you know what your accommodations will be.
     
  • Please use the Form for Requesting Subsequent Test Accommodations (129k pdf) if you have received test accommodations from CPS HR Consulting within the past 3 years and would like to request accommodations again.
