Contact the Registered Dietitian with Dining Services to discuss your needs. If the needs cannot be met within the dining facilities, they will work with Accessibility and Disability Services to issue a meal plan accommodation. Contact information for the Registered Dietitian can be found online.

During the housing application process, students can request a meal plan exemption if they have extenuating circumstances preventing them from eating successfully on campus. Students with a documented dietary need or food allergy should connect with the Registered Dietitian in Dining Services and Accessibility and Disability Services first.
