University of California, Santa Cruz: What if my student has a severe food allergy or special dietary need?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Contact UCSC Dining and, for disability-related needs, the DRC so the student can establish an appropriate dining accommodation plan.

Dining works with students and the Disability Resource Center on medical or disability-related food-access needs. Students should meet with Dining early, use published allergen/nutrition resources and complete any DRC process needed for formal accommodation.
