Sex Offender Attendance Policy

Northwest College School of Beauty (NWC) follows all applicable registered sex offender legal requirements including the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (CSCPA) of 2000, Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Clery Act. Additionally, access to public sources of information regarding the identity of sex offenders is available to all members of the community.

The Oregon State Police is the agency responsible for maintaining the sex offender registry and its dissemination. NWC will not disseminate this information and will refer inquiries to the Oregon State Police. The Oregon State Police Sex Offender Registration Unit is available for additional information or questions at (503) 378-3725. The Oregon Sex Offender Registry can be accessed here: https://sexoffenders.oregon.gov/ConditionsOfUse

Persons under active supervision for sex offenses are responsible for complying with the terms of their supervision. With the makeup of the student body at Northwest College School of Beauty, the school is unable to ensure that persons prohibited from being near minors will be able to comply with this restriction while attending classes but we will make every reasonable effort to do so. Students who are not in compliance with sex offender registration requirements may be in violation of the NWC School Catalog and policies contained therein, and may be subject to have their enrollment terminated accordingly.

The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (CSCPA) of 2000 amends the Wetterling Act to require sex offenders to notify the appropriate law enforcement agency when enrolled or employed at institutions of higher education. The Act requires that the State make the information available to campus law enforcement agencies or local law enforcement agencies. Campus Safety does not qualify as a campus law enforcement agency but this information can be provided to Campus Safety through the Campus Manager or directly to the General Manager.

The CSCPA also amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 which requires higher education institutions to indicate where community members can obtain information about enrolled or employed sex offenders. The CSCPA also amends the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 to clarify that nothing in FERPA may be construed to prohibit an educational institution from disclosing information provided to the institution concerning registered sex offenders.
