Export control regulations span multiple federal agencies, and the UO works closely with campus stakeholders to ensure compliance.

The U.S. Departments of Commerce and State have implemented regulations governing the transfer of certain items, software, equipment, and information to foreign countries and foreign persons. The U.S. Department of Treasury maintains targeted economic sanctions that restrict or prohibit a wide range of activities, including educational services, to designated countries, entities, and individuals.

In addition, federal agencies that sponsor research have their own regulations and requirements, and the UO has its own sets of policies and procedures to help the institution comply with export control regulations.
