Student Loan Repayment
at Eastern Illinois University
Exit counseling is required for all students shortly before graduating
or ceasing at least half-time enrollment who have received Federal Direct
Stafford Loan funds. You can complete exit counseling on the web by clicking
on the Department of Education web site at www.dlssonline.com
and electronically submitting the information.
To access this site it will require your "PIN"
number which is the same number used in filing your FAFSA. If you do not
have a "PIN" number you may apply for one from the direct loan
site.
This process will require you to complete the Borrower's Information,
and Rights and Responsibilites Sheets, and submit the information electronically.
Please make copies for your records. If you have any questions contact
our office at 217-581-3711.
In order to utilize this web site to complete exit counseling:
- A student must have taken out at least one loan from the William
D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program.
- If you have not, then you must contact the Eastern Illinois University
Office of Financial Aid to arrange an alternate exit interview at (217)581-3711.
- Click on the Department of Education website at www.dlssonline.com
After carefully reading each section of the exit counseling web-site,
you should have a clear understanding of repayment rights, responsibilities,
options, and obligations. If at any time during your review of the exit
counseling information you have a question, simply contact
us by e-mail and one of our staff members will respond to your
question as quickly as possible.
