LAST REVISION: October 28, 2014
Policy No. 7.1006
POLICY STATEMENT
Baton Rouge Community College complies with the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000
(CSCPA), which is a federal law that provides requirements relating to registration, community
notification for sex offenders, and the tracking of convicted sex offenders who are enrolled in or
work at institutions of higher education. CSCPA was signed into law October 28, 2000, which
amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender
Registration Act, and the Clery Act.
SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY
Applicable to any person required to register under a state sex offender registration program and
required to notify the state regarding whether he/she is enrolled or works at an institution of
higher education.
PURPOSE
To obtain information concerning registered sex offenders' enrollment or employment at
institutions of higher education, and to make this information available promptly to a campus
police department or other appropriate law enforcement agency having jurisdiction where the
institution is located.
PROCEDURE
The Louisiana State Police maintains the Louisiana Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry
(SOCPR) for the State of Louisiana, and is responsible for the enforcement of the applicable
sections of law cited above. Information about any such registered individual affiliated with
Baton Rouge Community College may be found at the public SOCPR website:
www.lasocpr.lsp.org/socpr. In addition to the amendments previously mentioned, the CSCPA
also amends the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) to clarify that
nothing in FERPA can prohibit an educational institution from disclosing information provided
to the institution concerning registered sex offenders.
