Currently enrolled students can meet with a registered dietitian for nutrition education and counseling. There is no charge for this service and you do not need a referral to schedule an appointment.

Call Nutrition Services directly to schedule an appointment. You will need to bring a completed Nutrition Questionnaire (PDF) and Food Record (PDF) to your first appointment.

During the first session we will begin an assessment, discuss nutrition recommendations and help you develop a plan to achieve your nutrition goals. After this, you are eligible to schedule follow-up appointments.
