Procedures for Dietary Accommodations

Cornell University encourages students with food allergies and special dietary requirements to be self-advocates in managing their dietary conditions. By registering with Student Disability Services (SDS), the student and SDS can identify the appropriate campus referrals for notification and assistance with dietary management.

Steps to Follow:

1. Review the document, Student and University Responsibilities in Managing Food Allergy Conditions and Special Dietary Requirements
2. Register with Student Disability Services by completing the Request for Disability Services and Accommodations Form found at http://sds.cornell.edu/Forms and submitting medical documentation that verifies your condition and specific dietary needs or restrictions.
3. Meet with a Student Disability Services counselor to complete the Food Allergy Notification Form. If appropriate, you will be referred to the Cornell Dining Nutritionist by your SDS counselor.
4. Provide copies of the completed Food Allergy Notification Form to appropriate university faculty and staff. For example, Dining and Retail Services (Dining) facilities, residential program staff, course instructors, employers, coaches.
