Allergen Icons
At Western, we strive to create an inclusive, enjoyable, and safe dining experience for all students. We provide allergy-related resources to help you make informed food choices and offer one-on-one support to further assist you in successfully navigating eating on campus.
If you, or one of your friends has allergies, please familiarize yourself with our allergen symbols:
For students with Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance, please see our special diets page for more information.
Residence Placement
Western makes every effort to ensure that first-year students are placed in a suitable residence space. We are best able to do this by having incoming students complete the Residence Onboarding Process (ROP) before the summer deadline. All first-year students living in residence who indicate they have a severe allergy, intolerance or other diet-related medical condition are invited by email to book a one-on-one (virtual) meeting with our Registered Dietitian during the summer before moving in–parents and/or guardians available can also attend.
Some students with multiple, potentially life-threatening allergies, may want to pursue accommodation off campus.
