Changes to the IRS Data Retrieval Tool:
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool allows students and parents to access the IRS tax return information needed to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and transfer the tax information directly into their FAFSA from the IRS Web site.
- The IRS DRT remains the fastest, most accurate way to input your tax return information into the FAFSA form.
- For your privacy, the tax information you transfer from the IRS into your FAFSA form will not be visible to you. Instead, you will see “Transferred from the IRS” in the appropriate fields on fafsa.gov, the IRS DRT web page, and on the Student Aid Report.

Exit Counseling Workshops:
Exit counseling is a requirement from the federal government for any federal student loan borrower that helps prepare students to repay a federal student loan. Students who have received a Subsidized, Unsubsidized, Perkins, or Graduate PLUS Loan must complete exit counseling before they graduate, drop below half-time enrollment, or leave school. It can be completed online at www.studentloans.gov using the student's FSA ID.
The Office of Financial Aid at Elizabethtown College will be hosting 3 workshops to help students complete exit counseling, no reservation is required.
