U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and federal law have placed numerous restrictions on making payments to foreign individuals, including scholars, students and visitors. The restrictions limit the type of payments that may be made based on the individual's visa type and sponsoring organization. The sponsoring department is responsible to make sure the individual receiving payment is legally eligible to receive the requested payment.

Information about payments and restrictions may be found on the Office of Finance website.

The United States has had federal laws restricting the export of goods and technology. Attention to export controls has increased over time due to heightened concerns about homeland security, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and leaks of technology to U.S. economic competitors.

Licenses

Laws and regulations constituting export controls govern the shipment, transmission or transfer of certain sensitive items, information or software to foreign persons or entities, including when that transfer occurs on Bucknell's campus. Those laws sometimes require that Bucknell obtain a license from the U.S. government before making the "export."

Sanctions, Fines & Imprisonment

Most of the technology, information or software that Bucknell exports — either by shipping it to another country or by sharing it with its foreign national colleagues and students — is not of a nature that would be restricted for these purposes. Failure to adhere to export control requirements when they are applicable, however, could result in severe sanctions for both Bucknell University and the individual involved in the export, including administrative sanctions (e.g., loss of research funding), monetary fines up to $1 million and imprisonment up to twenty years.

Questions regarding export control requirements, including those concerning a potential violation, should be referred to:
