Special Dining Needs
All students with special dietary needs are first required to submit the Special Dining Needs Form, including any supporting medical documentation, to University Health Services. Special dining needs may include food allergies or intolerance, gluten-sensitive enteropathy (Celiac Disease), and other diseases of the stomach or intestine. The form will be evaluated by University Health Services to provide a recommendation to Dining Services.
Allergen Information
We are committed to making every guest’s dining experience an exceptional one, including our guests with food allergies. Our dining vendors work hard to identify the eight major food allergen groups (dairy, egg, fish, peanut, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat) in all food items across campus. Ask managers at the dining locations for more information.
