Finally, at least something back from CS. although reading the email has me a bit worried about the residence issue for the prior year to taking the test. Does this mean because i went to school and lived there, then i do not get residency in town X, where i have lived all my life (minus the 8 semesters at college)?

No, your residency preference will be your home town even though you went away for college. However, if you lived in your college town 1 year prior to taking the exam they would let you claim preference in your college town if you want.

uh...i wouldn't want to deal with those kids trying to keep UMass Amherst in the top 10 party schools. They are complete idiots. Amherst Police and UMass now work together so its not like you stick to the non college part of Amherst anymore.

Amherst is non civil service anyway so you dont have to worry about it.

Please visit the Civil Service News & Updates section of the HRD website at http://www.mass.gov/civilservice for periodic updates and other important information. Veteran preference status information is being reviewed and processed on a daily basis. You may see updates in the on-line system prior to the release of the exam scores.

If you are making a claim for residency preference placement on the eligible list you will need to indicate that in your written request. Please recall that residency preference placement on the eligible list is based on where a candidate resided for the entire twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of the examination. An appointing authority may require verification of residency for consideration prior to an appointment. If your residency cannot be verified, you may be removed from the eligible list for that community.
