Special Diets
Our culinarians are aware of today’s dietary restrictions as well as food lifestyles that are becoming popular. Fresh Ideas will accommodate physician ordered diets, dietary choices including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free, and diners with allergies. Menus are posted with nutritional information at every meal including specific signage to identify foods for dietary reasons.
Our corporate dietitians are always available to provide guidance for students and families. In some cases, special food is kept on site for students with dietary restrictions. Students may contact Trevor Schwendiman, Director of Dining Services at schwent@mcpherson.edu for more information and to work out the details of their dining plan.

Meal Plan Options
McPherson College Dining services provides students with 10, 14, and unlimited meal plans. Students have different meal plans depending on their status as a student and the location in which they live.

To appeal your meal plan click HERE. Meal plan appeals may be submitted up to seven (7) calendar days after the first day of fall, interterm, and *spring classes. If submitted after that deadline in the fall, the appeal will be considered for the spring semester, not the current semester. Interterm and spring appeals submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
*Spring appeals will be heard for new spring term students and returning students who did not participate in interterm.
