Verizon

There are three Verizon Wireless cellular sites on Pepperdine's Malibu campus.  These sites, located at the Caruso School of Law, on the RAC building, and at the Water Tanks site, located at the top of Aqua Mesa Road, provide excellent coverage to almost every area of campus.

Sprint

There are currently two Sprint cellular sites on Pepperdine's Malibu campus.  These sites, located at the Aqua Mesa site and on the RAC building, provide good coverage to the Drescher and lower campuses.

AT&T

The current coverage from this service provider is very good on most of the lower campus and on the Drescher campus.  Pepperdine students and employees are eligible for service discounts with AT&T.  To access, go to https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/iru-check-for-discount.html.  Students should select FAN #2403847 and employees should select FAN #2403830.   A time-sensitive email will be sent to you that requires immediate action to complete the process.

T-Mobile

The current coverage for this service is fair in most of the lower Malibu campus and Caruso School of Law areas, and poor in all other campus areas.
