<p class="MsoNormal">At the end of the fall semester, the FSU Office of Research implemented their RAMP Export Control system for visiting scholars and certain non-US citizen appointments. Effective June 11, 2021, the Office of Human Resources and the Center
for Global Engagement will be verifying the RAMP process has been completed before processing the hire or VISA application, respectively.

<p class="MsoNormal">Generally, the RAMP process should be completed before the offer of employment and/or invitation, provided the department is aware that the candidate fits into one of the above categories. The new RAMP system has replaced the Request to
Invite paper form. However, it will not replace documents required by the Center for Global Engagement for visitors on a J-1 or those requiring sponsorship on an H-1B. Additionally, it is not a replacement for the completion of the HR Onboarding system. To
ensure RAMP has been completed and approved, please upload a screenshot of the approved RAMP clearly showing the submission type and EC number (example below) to the supplemental documents of Onboarding.
