Emergencies & Allergies

In the event of a medical emergency, dial 911 first for emergency assistance. Then contact Safety & Security at x1900 as soon as possible.

Severe allergies Culinary students who have been medically identified as being prone to anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) are required to inform their instructors of the following information:

  • specific food allergy
  • precautionary steps taken to prevent triggering an allergic response
  • typical reaction once the allergy is triggered
  • other information that would enhance aid and promote student’s safety in an emergency

All requests for accommodations for persons with documented severe food allergies are also processed by Special Needs Advisors at the Center for Academic Support.

Allergy injections Students may continue immunotherapy at Health & Counseling Services. See the allergy injection agreement (16K PDF) for details about getting your shots on campus.
