Veteran's Credit: Pursuant to the County Charter and County policy, in all open competitive examinations (i.e., examinations open to everyone), the County of Los Angeles will add a credit of 10 percent of the total credits specified for such examination to the final passing score of an honorably discharged veteran, as well as the spouse of a deceased or disabled veteran, who served in the Armed Forces of the United States under specific conditions. To determine if the diploma is equivalent to those of U.S. high schools, the foreign transcripts (high school, college or university) must be evaluated by one of the approved organizations listed on the State of Californias Commission on Teacher Credentialing website, http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/cl635.pdf or the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, http://www.naces.org .
