New College Residence does not have cooking facilities for residents so all food is served out of the residence dining hall, Audrey Taylor Dining Hall.
The menus (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) can be viewed on the University of Toronto Food Services website here.
Over the years we have accommodated many students with specific dietary needs who live in residence and dine with us multiple times a day. If you wish to meet to discuss allergens/intolerances and/or dietary restrictions due to medical conditions, we ask that you fill out and submit the Allergen/Dietary Form.
Students are also encouraged to contact our team with any requests for dietary accommodations or allergies. They can help navigate the dining hall, and also help to establish accommodations for complex allergies or dietary restrictions.
Students who indicate that they require dietary accommodations when applying to New College will have their circumstances reviewed and be contacted by our team if necessary. Students with anaphylactic allergies are always asked to have their auto-injector on them in case of emergency.
Yes.
Balances may be topped up during the academic year through Transact e-Accounts or by downloading Transact e-Accounts mobile app.

You can check and manage your meal plan balance through Transact e-Accounts.
