Sanctions screening and audit-ready workflows for schools and universities
OFAC applies to every financial relationship
Students & applicants
Screen during enrollment and re-screen annually. International students require enhanced due diligence.
Parents & tuition payors
The IMG Academy settlement centered on unscreened tuition payors. Screen all parties making payments to the institution.
Sponsors & donors
Third-party sponsors, scholarship funds, and donor organizations must be screened before accepting funds.
Faculty & visiting educators
Foreign visiting faculty, researchers, and exchange program participants should be screened upon engagement.
Vendors & service providers
Contractors, suppliers, and service providers receiving payment from school funds require screening.
Payment agents & intermediaries
OFAC has confirmed that routing payments through third parties does not shield schools from liability.

February 2026 — OFAC Enforcement
IMG Academy: $1.72 million for 89 violations
IMG Academy, a Florida boarding school, accepted tuition payments from two parents on the OFAC SDN list — individuals with ties to Mexican drug cartels. OFAC found "reckless disregard" because the names were publicly available and the school never screened.
