Sex Offender Information

Illinois state law requires all sex offenders to inform the College within 3 days of registering for classes or accepting employment from an institution of higher learning. To be in compliance, sex offenders must complete an ISP 5-695 form in the Center for Access and Accommodations.

If a student discloses as a sex offender at any L&C location, those students are directed to the administrative assistant in the Center for Access and Accommodations to complete the Registration Form ISP 5-695. Once completed, the registration is faxed to the State Police. Continuing students must complete the Registration Form ISP 5-695 every semester before advising/registering in the Center for Access and Accommodations. A new registration form must be completed when the student graduates.

Information regarding Illinois Sex Offenders is available through the Illinois State Police website. The Illinois State Police provides an online listing of sex offenders required to register in the state. The database is updated daily and has several search features. The link below allows users direct access to the Illinois State Police database.

Daily Activity Logs

The Lewis & Clark Community College Campus Safety Department daily logs are available for viewing. The daily logs contain all reported crimes on campus and daily security activity. The logs are available by contacting Campus Safety. If the information within the activity logs jeopardizes the confidentiality of the victim and is prohibited by law, the information will not be released. Other issues which would delay the viewing of the activity logs would be an ongoing criminal investigation, the safety of individuals or the protection of evidence.
