You’re officially a Warrior—congrats! 🎉 So… what’s next? As you get ready to start your journey at Merrimack this fall, we’ve got you covered with your personalized MackTasks to-do list.
These tasks are designed to keep you on track and help you feel confident and prepared for your first semester. Some MackTasks are ready for you to tackle now while others will pop up throughout the summer, so keep an eye on your inbox! Check out some of the upcoming MackTasks you’ll see in your portal:Â
RSVP for orientation
This one’s easy—just choose your date, pick a single-day or overnight session and sign up! Orientation isn’t just about getting to know campus; it's your first real chance to meet your future classmates, make new friends and kick off your college journey. You don't want to miss this!
take a Math assessment
Don’t stress—your math assessment is just a way for us to see where you’re at. Every school teaches math a little differently, and this helps your advisor place you in the right class. It’s online, untimed and usually takes less than an hour. It won’t affect your major or scholarship, and you’re not expected to know everything (we promise)!
Complete your academic interest form
The Academic Interest Form asks about your interests, hobbies and career aspirations so we can help set you up for success from day one. Your advisor will use your answers—along with your math assessment and major requirements—to build a schedule that fits your goals. You’ll go over it together at Orientation in June to make sure everything looks good!
Fill out the housing questionnaire
You don’t need to stress about finding a roommate on your own—that’s what the housing questionnaire is for! It’ll ask about your habits, preferences and lifestyle so we can match you with someone compatible. If you already have someone in mind, you can both request each other on the form and our Residence Life team will honor mutual requests!
Upload a photo for your mackcard
You’ll use your Merrimack ID for everything on campus—getting into buildings, grabbing meals and more—so pick a pic you’re proud of! Whether it’s your best grad photo or a selfie you actually like, this is your chance to show off a little personality! Just make sure it’s clear, appropriate and school-friendly (save the sunglasses and filters for Instagram).
