BU Students<\/h4>
<\/p>\nNutrition Counseling<\/strong>
\nSCNC RDNs are available to:<\/p>\n- \n
- Provide education and support for a newly diagnosed food-related medical condition.<\/li>\n
- Provide support to students managing an existing condition at Boston University.<\/li>\n
- Liaise between students and BU Dining Services to ensure that students\u2019 dietary needs are met on campus.<\/li>\n
- Provide training and access to the Gluten Free Pantry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Gluten Free & Special Meal Accommodations are available:<\/strong><\/p>\n
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\u2019s BU Terrier Card. Students are required to complete a re-training session each year to renew their access to the pantry.<\/p>\n
