Rutgers Dining Services has a specialized pre-ordering program in place to help ensure that students with food allergies or specific medical diets have appropriate, safe, and delicious food options.

The first step is to fill out a Medical & Dietary Considerations form (can be found on our website or here: https://food.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/med_diet_consideration…).

This form will help us clarify your dietary restrictions and any doctor recommendations. Please follow the directions on the form for completion and submission.
