Nutrition Education

Education and collaboration live at the core of our efforts here on campus. We empower staff and students to engage in meaningful conversations surrounding nutrition. 

Preparing for University

The move from home to a post-secondary setting often presents a challenging transition for students. If you have food allergies, intolerances, restrictions or follow a specific dietary pattern, we recommend you take the following steps! 

  • Complete the Residence Accessibility Request form (if applicable) via MyHousing portal. 
  • Complete the Dietary Questionnaire as part of the Residence On-Boarding Process (if applicable) 
  • Self-identify your specific dietary needs and ask before you eat! Our culinary teams can review ingredients, methods of preparation, and more with you, to ensure the choice your making is appropriate for you.
