Check It Off. Get It Done.
MackTasks is your customized list of to-do items that you need to complete before you start classes.
Your MackTasks Checklist begins in your admission portal and then after Summer Orientation transitions to your MyMack portal. The list you see in your portal is personalized just for you, so what you see might be different from a friend or roommate’s list. Due dates vary depending on the task, with dates ranging between May and September for students starting in Fall 2025.
After you deposit, watch your email in early April for your Merrimack username and initial password. If you were previously enrolled at Merrimack and already have an @merrimack.edu account, you should be able to use the existing account. If you have difficulty logging into myMack, contact the IT Help Desk ([email protected], 978-837-3500) for assistance.
