In an effort to effectively respond to student requests for meal plan modifications and accommodations, George Mason University has created the Special Meal Plan Committee. Each request will be handled on a case-by-case basis and is reviewed by the Special Meal Plan Committee where staff from Disability Services consult with the Campus Dietitian. Any documentation submitted to support a request should be current and relevant and be from an appropriate professional that describes the current functional impact of the condition or disability as it relates to a meal plan modification or accommodation requested. The Special Meal Plan Committee will discuss reasonable modifications or accommodations based on student self-report and observations and interactions during an initial Disability Services meeting. Documentation may be requested from a diagnosing/treating healthcare provider/professional.

Mason reserves the right to request additional documentation if the information submitted appears to be outdated, inadequate in scope or content, does not address current level of functioning, or does not substantiate a need for modifications or accommodations. Disability Services will make a determination following The Special Meal Plan Committee’s review of student requests. Disability Services will contact students directly via their Mason email account to communicate that determination. Students who are not satisfied with the outcome of their special housing accommodation request are encouraged to review the Disability Services Grievance Process.
