Billing/Payment

Merrimack College has partnered with CASHNet powered by Transact to provide students electronic access to bills, set up payment plans and make electronic payments all in one location – The SAC.

Next Steps:

  • Students should sign into the SAC via MyMack and then invite whomever will be assisting with managing their bill to share access. The SAC will provide access to billing statements, the ability to make online payments and enroll in an optional monthly payment plan.
  • All future bills will be sent electronically and you will be notified of new bills via e-mail. In addition, those you have allowed access to the SAC will also receive notification each time a bill is generated. Paper bills will no longer be mailed.

The Office of the Bursar is located within Warrior One Stop. Please visit the Merrimack College Office of the Bursar home page for information on College policies relating to billing, payment and refunds. You will also find answers to the most frequently asked questions on the Bursar’s web page Please e-mail us with any questions at bursar@merrimack.edu.
