Due to the fluctuation in the food supply chain, students with specific dietary needs should review the menu each meal to be certain foods are safe. Please do not hesitate to ask a manager for assistance.
Syracuse University Food Services is committed to meeting the nutritional needs of our campus community. We pride ourselves on working one-on-one with students who have food allergies, celiac disease, and medically prescribed diets. Training for dietary accommodations is provided by Ruth Sullivan, our full time registered dietitian, to managers and dining staff to help ensure a safe and satisfying dining experience.
If you have dietary need, we strongly encourage you to contact us before you come to campus. That will help us be better prepared to accommodate your nutritional needs when you arrive.
Please provide medical documentation. The documentation must include the date of diagnosis and what tests were performed to diagnose your needs. See Medical Documentation.
Send medical documentation to Ruth Sullivan, MSEd, RDN,CDN at:
111 Waverly Ave, Syracuse, NY 13244, or email resulliv@syr.edu.
