Meal Plan Exemption Policy

Effective Date

July 1, 2019

Office of Primary Responsibility

Dean of Students Office

Summary of Policy

Our on-campus dining facilities offer a variety of menu choices and are able to accommodate most medically-required dietary needs. In those rare cases where we are unable to meet a student’s medical need, exceptions may be granted to the meal plan requirements.

The process for requesting such an exception is as follows:

• Documentation from a medical doctor regarding the medical condition, including specific nutritional recommendations, should be submitted to the Dean of Students office or to the Dining Services office.
• The Director of Dining Services will review the documentation and meet with the student. Within five business days of meeting with the student, the Director of Dining Services will determine if the needs can be met through our current dining options or if special arrangements can be made through our on-campus facilities.

If it is determined that our dining program cannot meet the medical and nutritional needs of the student, approval will be given to change or be exempt from the meal plan requirements.
