Updating DNS records?

My organization was informed by its government hosts that it needs to find an independent hosting solution, so we chose one recommended to us and are currently in the progress of migrating. I’ve imported from blogspot to wordpress before, and have changed URLs before, so I assumed that issues would be minimal. However, I see no way to access DNS records from my organizational dashboard . On my blog, I can find it under Settings / Hosting Configuration, but I purchased this particular domain via wordpress, so that may be the reason. One potential concern is that this isn’t the server-side dashboard, just the part where I add content to the website, update plugins, that sort of thing. I’ve checked under both Tools & Settings and am not seeing any promising.
