Combination of Education and Experience: Combinations of successfully completed post-high school education and experience may be used to meet total qualification requirements for GS-5 and may be computed by first determining the total qualifying experience as a percentage of the experience; then determining education as a percentage of the education required; and then adding the two percentages.

One full year of full-time graduate level education from an accredited university or college. One year of full-time graduate education is considered to be the number of credit hours that the school attended has determined to represent one year of full-time study.

Combination of Education and Experience: A combination of specialized experience and graduate level education that, when combined, equal 100% of the total requirement.

National Service Experience (i.e., volunteer experience): Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community, student, social).
