Lehigh Campus Tools & Resources

Food Allergies, Intolerances and Medical Needs:

We are here to help!  We want to meet one-on-one with anyone who has special dietary needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social.  

For students with medical conditions that impact their ability to dine well on campus, we strongly encourage a conversation with our Registered  Dietitian, Executive Chef, and/or General Manager.  In many instances, our dining team can easily assist with special needs.  Occasionally, Dining Services cannot meet a student’s medical needs within normal service.  

We may require additional medical documentation to enable us to develop a more specific meal plan accommodation.  In this situation, please visit the Office of Disability Services at https://studentaffairs.lehigh.edu/disabilities for details and instructions on how to submit a meal plan accommodation request.  This process is for those with medically documented diagnosis/-es that need to request special dining accommodations or have medically prescribed diet plans for the treatment of a medical condition.  Together, our departments work to serve our students with medical needs related to dining on campus.
