The Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act requires colleges and universities to issue a statement advising the campus community about where they may obtain information concerning registered sex offenders. The act also requires registered sex offenders to provide notice to each institution of higher education in the state in which he or she is employed or enrolled as a student.
How to Inquire
Members of the UMass Amherst community may request information about sex offenders at the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board (978-740-6400 or at www.state.ma.us/sorb), or at the UMass Amherst Police Department (413-545- 2121).

Any person who improperly uses Sex Offender Registry information shall be punished by not more than two and one-half years in the house of correction, or by a fine of not more than $1,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
