Additional Resources

Advising and Course Registration

Please review Merrimack’s list of graduate program directors and reach out to your program area for course enrollment information. If you can not determine who your advisor is, please email [email protected].

Finalize Your Enrollment - Medical Forms/Final Official Transcript

Complete your enrollment by submitting the mandatory medical forms required for full-time, international, and health science students. (Students in fully online programs are exempt from this requirement.) Additionally, if you haven’t already submitted your Final Official Transcripts, please ensure they are sent to the Graduate Admission Office by the end of the first month of your first semester. Failure to submit these transcripts within this timeframe will result in a registration hold on your account, preventing you from registering for the next semester.

Additional Information for International Students

International students will need to take a few additional steps to enroll. We are here to support and guide you with getting started as a Merrimack Graduate Student. Throughout your time at Merrimack, you’ll also have access to programs designed to help you thrive academically, professionally, socially, and culturally as you transition to college life and living in the U.S.

The Graduate Student Center is located in the McQuade Library, Room 202. It provides a welcoming space for graduate students to study, socialize, and connect.

It also hosts programs and services designed to support student success and foster connections with staff and fellow students.
