Registration of Sex Offenders

Penal Code § 290.95 prohibits sex offender registrants whose sex crime was against a

victim under age 16 from working with minors as an employee or volunteer if the registrant

will be working with minors directly and in an unaccompanied setting on more than incidental

or occasional basis or has supervisory or disciplinary power over the child.

If the registrant’s crime was not against a victim under age 16 the registrant must notify the

employer or volunteer organization of his/her status as a registrant.

All registrants who are enrolled or employed by an University are required to register with

the campus Police per Penal Code §§ 290.009 and 290.01 (a)(1). This section requires

dual registration with the jurisdiction where the person lives and with the campus for the

following sex offenders that have a registration duty:

• Students enrolled at the campus.

• Full or parttime

employees, with or without compensation.

• Those carrying on a vocation at the campus.

The terms employed or carries on a vocation include employment whether or not it is

financially compensated, volunteered or performed for government or educational benefit.

The registrant must be employed, etc. over 14 days in a calendar year or more than an

aggregate of 30 days. Violation of Penal Code § 290.01 is a misdemeanor.

A student is enrolled for purposes of the registration law, on the day the first

quarter/semester of enrollment begins and must register within five (5) working

days of that date. Thereafter, if the student remains enrolled for the next regular semester

or quarter, he/she does not need to notify the Department of any status change. The

summer session does not count as a regular semester/quarter and if a registrant is present

spring semester/quarter and will return fall semester/quarter he/she does not have to come

in at the end of the spring term to notify the Department he/she is leaving for the summer

nor does he/she have to appear at the beginning of the fall term to reregister.

However, if the registrant does not reenroll

for a regular session during the school

year he/she must notify the Department within five (5) working days of the last day

of the semester/quarter that he/she is enrolled that he/she will be absent the following

semester/quarter. When the registrant reenrolls

he must reregister

with the Department

within five (5) working days of the first day of that new semester/quarter.

The registrant must bring proof of residence if he/she is living on campus such as his/her

contract for the residence halls.

The proof of residency is to consist of either a California Driver’s License, California ID card,

recent rent or utility receipt, printer personalized checks, other recent banking documents

showing the registrant’s name and address or any other reliable proof of residence.

If the registrant has no proof of residence he/she must be allowed to register but told to

return to the Department and furnish proof of residence within 30 days of the date he/she

registered. Failure to furnish such proof pursuant to Penal Code § 290.015 (a)(5) is a

misdemeanor violation of Penal Code § 290.018 (h).
