Is a police background check required?
Yes. The State of Wisconsin will not license anyone convicted of a felony or who has committed crime against children. Viterbo University completes a background check during the processing of an application. If you have lived outside of Wisconsin for more than a semester you will need to have a federal background check conducted by contacting: www.certifiedbackground.com and using code: VI87/”Academic” – (the I is a capital I and not a one). You will need to print off your results and give us a copy. If you have only lived in WI or were away for a semester or less we will only require the $7.00 State of WI background check that we conduct. This fee will be collected at orientation. The cost for the national background check is $48 dollars and you will pay it online.
