The Online Notice of School Assignment (ONSA) is a documentation or notice that specifies the testing venue or school assignment of an examinee who is scheduled to take the Civil Service Examination.
The CSC is the government agency responsible for recruiting and selecting civil servants for government service. To be considered for a position in the government, one must pass the Civil Service Exam, which tests an individual’s aptitude, knowledge, and skills.
The Online Notice of School Assignment is released a few weeks before the scheduled examination date. It contains information such as the name of the examinee, the school or venue where the exam will be held, and the room number and seat number assigned to the examinee.
Examinees can access the Online Notice of School Assignment through the official website of the CSC or through the email address they provided during the application process. It is important for examinees to check their assigned testing venue and be present on the examination day to avoid any inconvenience or issues.
The Civil Service Commission, through their website www.csc.gov.ph, made the Online Notice of School Assignment (ONSA) accessible to the public.
