Meal Plan Exemption Requests

New Students

As per the Residential Life License Agreement each student signs, and for reasons of public health and personal wellness, the meal plan is required of all students who live in an on-campus* residence hall. The University, in unique circumstances, may exempt a student from the required meal plan for documented medical conditions or religious dietary observance. It should be noted that all documentation must be submitted according to the exemption timeline listed below in order for a request to be considered for that semester.

Please note that the meal plan exemptions requests will only be considered for those who demonstrate critical need to be exempt from the meal plan and provide appropriate documentation. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain any and all required approvals or necessary documentation. Fall semester requests will be accepted until September 05, 2008. Spring semester requests will be accepted until February 02, 2009. Outcome of exemption request will be provided via email to your ASU email address.

Requests received after the deadline(s) will not be considered until next semester. Please note that you have an obligation to pay for your meal plan until your exemption request is approved.
