Meal Plan Exemptions

A meal plan is obligatory for every student who lives in on-campus housing. Requests for exceptions to the meal plan will only be considered for a documented medical or psychological need, or for a medically prescribed diet that Bon Appétit personnel cannot provide. Coursework and/or employment schedules, finances, or diets recommended by someone other than a medical doctor or licensed therapist will not qualify for an exception or alteration to the meal plan requirement. Food service personnel are amenable to discussing special provisions or substitutions to meet dietary requirements, significant scheduling conflicts or other individual food needs. Therefore, if you have any of these issues, we ask that you contact Ryan Jensen, the General Manager of Bon Appétit at Lewis & Clark, before reaching out to campus living for additional meal plan exemption information. You can contact Ryan Jensen at (503) 768-7891 or email rjensen@lclark.edu.

If you have a medical reason for a meal plan exemption or other questions about a meal plan exemption, please reach out to the Campus Living Office (living@lclark.edu).
