FAQs
You’ll find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below.
Can Merrimack students live on campus this Spring?
Merrimack is committed to providing a safe residential experience. For additional information, see our Reopening Plan.
Is there a cost difference based on room and board?
Yes. Initial bills typically have the same cost for all resident students. Within a week of receiving a housing assignment, a change in a student’s rate will be reflected on their bill.
Meal plans are included in the cost of room and board and are the same rate for Option 17, Option 13 and Option 7. The difference in plans is the amount of bonus points to be used around campus. All resident students are initially enrolled in Option 13, and students have through the first week of classes to change to Option 7 or Option 13 based on their schedule and habits.
For questions regarding your bill, please contact the bursar’s office.
