  release or discharge of such sex offender,  informing  the  division  in
  writing  on  a  form  provided by the division indicating the address at

  institution  of  higher  education  at  which  he  or  she expects to be
  enrolled, attending or employed, whether for compensation  or  not,  and
  whether  he  or  she  resides  in  or will reside in a facility owned or

  attendance,  employment  or  residence  at  any  institution  of  higher
  education  while  on  parole,  such notification of the change of status
  shall be sent by the sex offender's parole  officer  within  forty-eight
  hours to the division on a form provided by the division.
    2.  In the case of any sex offender on probation, it shall be the duty
  of the sex offender's probation officer to notify  the  division  within

  the division. If such sex offender changes the  status  of  his  or  her
  enrollment,  attendance,  employment  or residence at any institution of
  higher education while on probation, such notification of the change  of
  status  shall  be  sent  by  the sex offender's probation officer within
  forty-eight hours to the division on a form provided by the division.
    3. In the case in which any sex offender escapes from a state or local
  correctional facility  or  hospital,  the  designated  official  of  the
  facility  or  hospital where the person was confined shall notify within

  remaining to be served, if any, on the full term for which he or she was
  sentenced,  and  the  nature  of  the  crime  for  which  he  or she was
  sentenced, transmitting at the same time a copy of such  sex  offender's
  fingerprints and photograph and a summary of his or her criminal record.
    4.  The  division  shall  provide general information, in registration
  materials  and  annual   correspondence,   to   registrants   concerning
  notification   and   registration  procedures  that  may  apply  if  the
  registrant is authorized to relocate and relocates to another  state  or
