How Does Registration Apply To Someone Who Is In College or High School?

A person who is required to register as a sex offender in another jurisdiction and is currently enrolled as a full-time or part-time student in any public or private educational institution in New Jersey must register as a sex offender in New Jersey. If this individual attends any secondary school, trade or professional institution, institution of higher education, or any other post-secondary school, the registration must occur within ten days of beginning attendance at the educational institution. The individual must register with the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality in which the educational institution is located or if the municipality does not have a local police force, the New Jersey Superintendent of State Police.

A person required to register who is enrolled at, employed by, or carries on a vocation at an institution of higher education, or any other post-secondary school in New Jersey must, within ten (10) days of beginning attendance, employment, or vocation, register with the law enforcement unit of the educational institution if the institution has such a unit.
