Not VerifiedAre you a current student with a meal plan and have a food allergy? Let us help you! By logging into your account above and entering your information, you will alert our management staff to your food allergy needs. A Don’t Be Shy card will be available for your mobile phone, or print one out to keep on hand. When you come into one of our dining halls, show an associate your card for personalized service.
We take food allergy management very seriously. You rely on good health to attend class and keep up your social life. Using our Don’t Be Shy tool, we will help you navigate the safest options within our dining operations and prepare meals for you individually by trained associates with food allergy management knowledge, in spaces dedicated to food allergy prep.
Our management, culinary staff and allergen handling associates all complete FARE Certified food allergen training through Compass Group, along with additional specific food allergy training for cross contamination and meal prep. All associates in all areas of campus receive basic food allergy training. Some of our team members also complete additional training as required by State and local laws.
Formally declare a disability, register with the Office of Student Access Services (SAS), submit documentation, and access SAS forms.
We encourage you to visit the Office of Student Disabilities on campus to discuss any special accommodations you might need or additional concerns regarding managing your food allergy. Requests for specialty products or dining services outside of our currently offered program should be routed through that office.
