• If you believe you have a medical condition or disability which creates a "substantial limitation to one or more major life activities" involving your meal plan, make an appointment with the Disability Resource Center to have your situation evaluated. Contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at drc@pdx.edu or 503-725-4150 to schedule an appointment.
