Mandatory Meal Plan

Appeal Form

Dine West offers a range of options, including vegan, vegetarian, and items that are made without gluten, and will work with individuals on their dining needs. Special meals can be prepared for students upon request. Prior to submitting an appeal, students are encouraged to speak with the executive chef to develop a plan that suits their dietary needs. In addition, you can set up a meeting with the Executive Director of Dining Services to learn about all of your options.


Meal Plan appeals and all required documentation must be submitted a minimum of 10 business days prior to the Scheduled Fee Payment Deadline. This timeframe allows sufficient time for review, follow-up, and coordination with relevant departments before final decisions are made.

 

 

Appeal considerations and required documents for each type:

Medical Conditions: Students with medical conditions requiring dietary restrictions not accommodated by dining services must provide documentation from a qualified medical professional on official letterhead. It must be a signed and dated, non-editable document (no Word files). The document should include the diagnosis, explain how the disability impacts the student’s use of campus dining services, specify the severity of allergies, and list foods to avoid.


Religious Dietary Restrictions: Adherence to religious dietary laws, such as those observed in Judaism and Islam, who find that the available meal options do not meet their requirements must submit a signed statement from a recognized religious leader outlining the specific dietary requirements.


Other Special Circumstances: Appeals based on economic hardship will only be considered for students facing significant, documented challenges, such as homelessness or extreme financial distress. Students must be actively working with Student Accounts and Billing Services (OSABS) or another designated support office. Appeals based solely on general financial concerns or a desire to reduce costs will not be considered.
