Sex Offender Registration Information
The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (CSCPA) of 2000 is a federal law that provides for the tracking of convicted sex offenders enrolled at, or employed by, institutions of higher education. The CSCPA is an amendment to the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Act. The federal law requires The Texas Department of Public Safety to provide Central Texas College District with a list of registered sex offenders who have indicated that they are either enrolled, employed or carry on a vocation at Central Texas College.
Central Texas College District is required to inform the campus community that a TXDPS registration list of sex offenders will be maintained and available at the Office of the Campus Police located in building 211, directly behind Admissions, building 209.
In addition, a list of all registered sex offenders in Texas is available from The Texas Department of Public Safety Sex Offenders.
The CSCPA further amends the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) to clarify that nothing in the Act can prohibit an educational institution from disclosing information provided to the institution concerning registered sex offenders.
