Announcements : Update to the Scholar Portal: Export Control

The Office of Export Control is now requiring an export control evaluation for all professors, researchers, and visiting scholars. This new questionnaire will help determine whether or not an Export Control license is necessary for the sponsored scholar. ISSS can complete the approve the new sponsorship request application once the office receives confirmation from the Chair/Director or Dean that the position does not fall under the purview of the Deemed Export Control (EAR or ITAR) (via the new questionnaire), or if an Export Control license is necessary, until clearance is granted by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.

Additionally,  any future changes or extensions of the sponsored worker’s employment/program must also be reviewed for compliance.
As such, for H-1B extensions, the Export Control evaluation will remain in the Department tab where it has been until now. For J-1 extensions, it will be embedded into the J-1 Extension Request. 

Here's what it will look like within the New Sponsorship Request:
