Export Control Compliance

It is the policy of Boston College to fully comply with all U.S. export control laws. U.S. export control laws potentially apply to a variety of Boston College activities conducted in support of the University鈥檚 academic mission, research portfolio, and administrative functions, including, but not limited to: international travel, gifts (University and individual), international shipments, interactions with restricted or sanctioned individuals and entities, financial transactions, international research and academic collaborations, dissemination of proprietary and/or industry technology, and the use of computer software with encryption features.


Violation of federal export control laws can potentially lead to severe criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions and penalties for Boston College and individuals. All 糖心vlog直播平台 faculty, staff, and students are therefore expected to determine when and how export control laws apply to their activities, and coordinate with the 糖心vlog直播平台 Office of Research Security, Integrity and Compliance to ensure compliance.
