These persons must register withing 5 days of enrollment or employment. Registrants are also required to notify College Safety within 5 days of discontinuing enrollment or employment.

Megan's Law

In 1994, seven year old Megan Kanka was raped and murdered by a convicted sex offender with two prior convictions of child sexual abuse. Prior to her death, states required sex offenders to register, but registry information was mostly limited to law enforcement. A grassroots movement championed by Megan's parents after her death galvanized the public and demanded that sex offender registry information be made available to the public.

In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the federal "Megan's Law". The law provides guidelines that states must use to notify the public of sex offender information. It also enhances online sex offender registry information databases.
