Requesting a Campus Access Badge
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church · ComplianceHow to ask the parish for a campus access badge, and how to apply for or renew a badge and a Safe Environment clearance from your profile.
You are a staff member, a ministry volunteer or a member of an outside group. You need a badge to open campus doors. You may or may not have a parish portal account.
A campus access badge opens a door. The parish asks who you are, why you need access and who approves it, so that the right person can say yes.
What you will do, in one sentence
Open the badge request page, verify your email if you are not signed in, check your details, answer the questions, and select Send my request.

1. Open the page
Use one of these ways:
- Sign in, open My Profile, find the box Safe Environment and access badge, and select Apply or Renew on the line Access badge.
- Select the link in a renewal email.
- Open an old link to the access request form. The old link opens the new page.
The page title is Request a campus access badge. The page has no menu entry.
2. Verify your email (only if you are not signed in)
If you are signed in, go to the next step.
- Enter your email.
- Complete the check on the page.
- Select Email me a code.
- Open your email. Enter the code. Select Verify.
The code expires after 10 minutes. Select Send a new code if you need another one.
The code proves that the email is yours. The parish sends the approval notices to this email.
3. Check your details
The page shows the details that the parish has on file: first name, last name, birthday, email and phone. Change what is wrong.
| Detail | Rule |
|---|---|
| Birthday | If the parish has your birthday, you cannot change it. Ask parish staff. If it is empty, enter it. |
| If you verified your email by code, it cannot change here. If you are signed in, you can use a new email that no other person uses. | |
| Other fields | You can change them. The change applies to your own record only. |
If the parish has no record for your email, the page asks for your details and makes a guest record. A badge needs a known age, so enter your birthday.
4. Answer the questions
- Why do you need access? Choose Staff, Ministry or Organization.
- Ministry. Choose your ministry. Choose Other if it is not in the list, and enter the name.
- Type of access. Choose Event only, Ministry or organization, or Standing access, restricted.
- Event date. The page asks for it only for Event only. Enter today or a later day.
