Sex Offender Registration

The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000, which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, the Jeanne Clery Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained.

It also requires sex offenders already required to register in state to provide notice of each institution of higher education in that state at which the person is employed, carries a vocation, or is a student. In the State of North Carolina, convicted sex offenders must register with the Sex Offender Registry maintained by the Department of Justice. Searchable registries are found at:
