Applying for a University Civil Service Examination Outside of Exams Xpress

You cannot apply by mail for Information Technology (IT) titles.
Applications for IT titles must be submitted online.

General Instructions

The City University of New York encourages all applicants to apply for civil service examinations using the Exams Xpress system, when available for a given title. Applying for examinations using the Exams Xpress system enables applicants to receive their written test admission cards and their examination scores more quickly.

The City University of New York realizes, however, that for some applicants applying via the web is not feasible. Therefore, we provide forms that may be downloaded and printed and, upon completion by the applicant and submission of the filing fee, will be processed in the same manner as those applicants who applied via Exams Xpress. Information Technology titles are an exception; these must be submitted online.
