Sex Offender Registry

To learn the identity of registered sex offenders on or near a campus, or anywhere in the United States, visit the sex offender databases at sexoffender.com and nsopw.gov. You can search by city, county or ZIP code. This information is collected by other agencies, and this institution cannot guarantee this information is correct or complete. The information provided here is intended to be in compliance with the Campus Security Act and for campus safety purposes only. It should not be used to intimidate, threaten or harass.

Sex offenders who are required to register in a state must provide notice of each institution of higher education in that state at which the offender is employed or is a student. The Campus Security Authority at the campus is the designated individual to receive the information.
