All employees and volunteers at St. Michael Catholic School are required to complete and maintain safe environment credentials through the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. If you have any questions about this process,  contact Cindy Rohr (crohr@stmcatholicschool.org), Safe Environment Coordinator at St. Michael Catholic School

DO YOU HAVE A VIRTUS ACCOUNT?
If you have a Virtus account, please check your status online at virtusonline.org. If all squares are green, you are compliant.  Any red squares need to be completed before you volunteer. If you are due for a new background check, please complete the form online.

NEW VIRTUS ACCOUNT REGISTRATION:
Please use a computer, not a phone or tablet, and use Google Chrome as your browser and allow popups. Please allow 60 to 75 minutes to complete the entire process.

1. Setup an account at virtusonline.org.
     -In the first list you will need to choose the Archdiocese of St.Paul and Minneapolis.  It is quite a way down the list.
      -You will then choose St. Michael Catholic School in St. Michael (do not choose St. Michael Catholic Church).  Again, you will need to scroll down the list to find our school.
      -You will then be able to setup your account information.
 
2.  You should then be prompted to complete an online background check. 

Prior to beginning your background check, please review this document which outlines the selection you should make at the bottom of each page. Pay close attention to pages 7-10 where you will have to choose "next" instead of  "submit", and then choose submit again on page 11.

Please note the following:

• Answer all questions completely.
• Once completed choose "submit". ("Print and Save" will not submit the background check.)
• Do not back out of any screens as it can freeze your process. 

3.  You will then need to complete the online training which includes videos and questions to answer. 

Note that the background check can take up to 3 business days for us to get info back.  Please remember, you will not be able to volunteer until all of the above components are completed.  Upon completion, you will be in compliance for 3 years.
