Export controls laws regulate the transfer of sensitive items, information, technology, services, hardware, software and services to destinations outside the United States, as well as the release of controlled technology and services to foreign nationals inside the United States.

These laws sometimes affect research and development activities at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ. Furthermore, this regulatory landscape is complex and constantly in flux, which makes itÌýdifficult to follow how export lawsÌýmight apply to your work. The Office of Export Controls (OEC) seeks to help the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder campus navigate this challenge by providing training resources and guidance on relevant "hot topics" (such as current events and geopolitical upheavel) that affect US Export Control regulations, and thereforeÌýyour research on campus. It benefits the entire University community to ensure individuals engaged in research stay updated on export control concerns.


In some cases, OEC requires individuals engaging in export-controlled research projects to take appropriate training. If you have been instructed to take export controls training, you've come to right place. Please proceed to the instructions below to learnÌýhow to enroll.
