Students with life-threatening food allergies who may need to use an epi-pen should be carrying their own with them at all times. Dining Services staff are NOT trained to administer epi-pens and CANNOT provide or administer them. Students should make appropriate people (i.e. roommates, friends, Resident Assistant/House Manager, etc.) aware of their conditions so people can react effectively should emergency medical services be needed. Students with severe allergies should also register with the Office of Academic Resources prior to arriving on campus.
Individuals with an allergy or intolerance should be aware that the dining services team cannot always make special accommodations without prior notification to the dining management team who works with students on these concerns. Last minute requests are not likely to be available.
Students must also be aware that there are some dining locations on campus that are not a part of the dining program with oversight by Bon Appétit and therefore do not fall under the campus dining requirements and advertised protocols. These facilities include: WesWings, Espwesso, Red and Black Café, Star and Crescent and Story & Soil. Students electing to eat in these venues should check with the individual management to learn about their safety standards.
