Food Allergies and Intolerance's

We will work closely with you to accommodate your needs. Examples include labeling dishes for students with allergies, buying and storing food separately, and adjusting recipes. We are proud to offer a gluten-free kitchen for our residents.

Vegan & Vegetarian Dining

We offer vegan and vegetarian options at every meal, every day, in the dining hall. You will find these options listed on our online menu.

Nutritional Counseling

If you would like nutrition counseling regarding your options or if you have a suggestion or a favorite recipe you want to share, please contact us at 618-453-2301.

Brown Bag Meals

Students with a class that conflicts with mealtimes should speak to staff at the dining hall to make arrangements for a brown bag meal.

Under-the-Weather Meals

Culinary and Nutrition Services wants to help you stay fed while you get well. Utilize THIS FORM to get a Wellness Meal (lunch or dinner) for up to 5 days while you get well. We know that you will want to avoid crowds or crowded areas, if possible, such as the dining halls, so utilize this form to ensure you help to stop the spread. Please be sure to plan to bring your Student ID with you when you pick up the meals you request from your local dining facility.
