Frequently Asked Questions

I follow a vegan, halal, or kosher diet. Will I have anything to eat?
Vegan diet:

  • Each meal will include a vegan protein option as well as a variety of sides. Menu examples:
    • Breakfast: tofu huevos rancheros, Beyond breakfast sausage patties with Just Egg omelette, tofu scramble.
    • Lunch or dinner: vegan mac and cheese, black bean and rice burrito, spiced chickpea panisse, plus protein sides on the salad bar.

Halal or kosher diet: Please contact the manager of nutrition services for more information before the May 1 deadline.

If you do not feel that the options available will meet your needs, please contact the manager of nutrition services as soon as possible to determine if a meal plan exemption or dining accommodation is right for you. Requests for non-medical reasons received after May 1 cannot be considered for an exemption.

I have a food allergy/celiac disease. Will the meal plan meet my needs?
Contact ARC to discuss if a meal plan exemption is appropriate for you.

  • Food allergies: While we make every effort to avoid allergen cross-contact, there is the potential for cross-contact with other allergen-containing food items.
  • Celiac: Dining Services cannot guarantee avoidance of cross-contact with gluten. If a student has non-celiac gluten sensitivity and can tolerate cross-contact with gluten, a refrigerator is available in the dinng room with bread and bagel options that do not contain gluten as an ingredient.

Can I be exempt from the meal plan for financial reasons?
Meal plan exemptions will not be granted based on financial need.
