Additional information
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 and Dietary Consideration Form (can be found on our website). This form will help us clarify your dietary restrictions and any doctor recommendations. Please follow the directions on the form for completion and submission.
