Medical Documentation for Dietary Modifications

Syracuse University Campus Dining requires medical documentation for any dietary modification needed in any of our facilities. (A modification is what is needed beyond what we currently serve.)

Provide information listed below in advance of your arrival to campus. We ask for this information by July 1 to give us the time needed to review accommodations.  Waiting to provide appropriate documentation may lead to delays in requested modifications.

Medical documentation should be a letter from your medical provider that includes:

  • Most current testing indicating diagnosis.
  • All foods that need to be avoided, and the name of the test(s) performed.
  • Documentation needs to be on office or practice letterhead, dated and signed by a professional who is licensed or certified in the area for which the diagnoses is made.
  • The nature and the extent to what specific modifications are needed based on testing and/or clinical history.

Please send medical documentation to our dietitian, Ashley Leone at aerusso@syr.edu.

Medical documentation will be reviewed for the requested modification(s).  Please be advised that you may need to provide additional information as needed.  Review of the medical documentation may be shared with Health Services and the Center for Disability Resources.
