Dining Services
All medical disability requests including allergies goes through the Office of Student Success.
Students meet with the Assistant Dean of Accessibility to discuss their concerns. At that time, they also schedule a meeting with Dining Services to review the daily offerings/efforts to meet the needs of students with allegories/food sensitivities. For some students, their needs are met through this meeting. After the initial meeting with the Assistant Dean, students submitted documentation from their medical care provider. Once the documentation is submitted, one of three outcomes occurs: approval of the requested dining accommodation; denial of accommodation; request for additional information. In the case of denial/additional information, the student and the Assistant Dean meet to discuss how the student’s needs can be met via dining services and/or explain what additional information is need to make a decision of a reasonable accommodation.
Prospective students and parents are encouraged to reach out to the Assistant Dean of Accessibility to discuss their unique needs/concerns. This often can happen if a student is planning a visit to campus as part of their visitation day. It can also happen via zoom at a mutually agreed upon time.
