Religious Dietary Restrictions

Note From Campus Dietitians

Students who follow religious dietary practices are encouraged to navigate dining in a way that aligns with their personal beliefs and level of observance. Our dining halls aim to support a variety of needs—including those following Kosher, Halal, Seventh-day Adventist, and other faith-based dietary practices—by offering a range of vegetarian, vegan, and simply prepared menu options, along with ingredient transparency to help inform choices.

Because religious dietary practices can vary widely from person to person, students are encouraged to review menu offerings, ask questions about ingredients and preparation methods, and make selections that best meet their individual needs. While we strive to provide inclusive options, our kitchens are shared environments, and not all items may meet specific certification standards (such as certified Kosher or Halal).

Students with specific questions or who need additional support are encouraged to connect with dining staff or the campus dietitian to explore available options and create a plan that works best for them.

Kosher

Rohr Chabad Jewish Student Center offers a certified kosher kitchen, Shabbat dinners, and holiday meals — please request assistance from the chef and dietitian about connecting for Kosher meals.

Halal

All unbreaded chicken breast is Halal — please request assistance from the chef and dietitian for more help.

Ramadan

WVU Hospitality Group provides meal accommodations for students observing Ramadan. A form will be promoted prior to the observance period to sign up for breakfast box accommodations. Halal dinner options do not need to be requested through the form and will be available daily at select dining hall stations.

  • Breakfast (Suhoor): 1 MEAL SWIPE OR $11.79
    Pickup occurs during dinner service the night before at the salad station. Breakfast includes yogurt, dates, oatmeal, fruit, juice box, two waters, and two hard-boiled eggs.
  • Dinner (Iftar): 1 MEAL SWIPE OR DOOR PRICE
    Look for the HALAL menu icon at the dining stations during the Ramadan observance period. Dinner service will feature Halal meat options as well as foods that are naturally compliant with Halal dietary practices.

Passover

In recognition of Passover, fish will be available in all dining halls on Fridays throughout the Passover observance period. We remain dedicated to providing inclusive dining options that help ensure all students feel welcomed and supported on campus.
