Transitioning to DASH Research - Export Control Module
As part of our commitment to improving the operational efficiency in export control, we are transitioning to a new system, DASH Research -Export Control Module. We are excited to announce the official launch of our new DASH Research -Export Control Module on Monday 09/29/2025. This new platform is designed to streamline our internal export control communications, enhance faculty, staff, and students experience, reduce the administrative burden, and improve data management. As a first step, we are initiating only two types of requests on this system, the International Travel and Visitors Engaged in Research (VEiR) requests.
This initiative is a critical step in our mission to be a driving force for excellence by actively engaging students, faculty, and staff; inspiring positive change; and enriching and sustaining the community.
Access to the new system is granted to all relevant UTC users on the launch date of 09/29/2025. However, the University-wide migration to DASH Research-Export Control Module should take place by 11/01/2025. We are not requiring its use for International Travel and VEiR until November 1, 2025. You can access DASH Research Export Control Module via this link: https://dash.tennessee.edu/home.
