Nutrition Counseling
SCNC RDNs are available to:

• Provide education and support for a newly diagnosed food-related medical condition.
• Provide support to students managing an existing condition at Boston University.
• Liaise between students and Dining Services to ensure that students’ dietary needs are met on campus.
• Provide training and access to the Gluten Free Pantry.

Students at nutritional risk are eligible for up to three nutrition counseling sessions per academic year (July 1 – June 30) at no charge. Students requiring more than three visits per academic year may continue to work with their SCNC RDN on a fee-for-service basis. Students may be eligible for health insurance coverage for these visits, depending on their healthcare plan. Deductibles, copayments, and/or coinsurance may apply.

Gluten Free & Special Meal Accommodations are available:

To prevent cross contact, access to the Gluten Free Pantry is limited to students who attend a training session with a RDN. Upon successful completion of the training, access is granted via the student’s BU Terrier Card. Students are required to complete a re-training session each year to renew their access to the pantry.

The SCNC offers a unique Nutrition by Design program for faculty and staff as part of BU’s health and wellness program. This program is based on the scientific evidence about nutrition and activity for health promotion, with special consideration for cardiac risk factors (including diabetes, elevated blood pressure or cholesterol) and digestive disorders. Participants are guided through an assessment of their nutrient needs in order to establish realistic and sustainable goals, taking into consideration lifestyle demands and constraints, food restrictions and preferences, and health goals. Skills and strategies for meal planning, dining out, food shopping, and recipe modification are emphasized. This program includes up to four individual sessions with an RDN.
Program Fee for BU Faculty & Staff: $50
