Accommodations Approved

Accommodations are usually available after the Access Meeting.
The Access Meeting is an interactive process that will last about 45 minutes to an hour. EAS will discuss the student's disability(ies) and its impacts on the student in an academic environment. A follow-up meeting may be necessary to address the eligibility and utilization of accommodations.

Dining Accommodations 

If you are a CMU student living on campus and need dining accommodations due to a diagnosis or health impairment that impedes typical participation in campus dining options, complete the application below to start the request process.  

Please allow 2 business days for EAS to review your application before a response with next steps will be provided. Students living on campus during the current semester will be prioritized over incoming students. 

Dining Accommodation Application 

There are various levels of accommodations available depending on student need. There is an allergen-friendly counter available to all students at lunch and dinner. This is not an allergen-free zone as we cannot guarantee the food has avoided cross-exposure to one of the Big-9 allergens. 

Application Suspension Policy

EAS will attempt to contact the student via the student's Mavs email or phone for up to one month after the application submission date. After attempting to contact the student at least 3 times without response, EAS will suspend the student's application. The application information will be saved and can be re-activated by the student contacting EAS.
