Pager Services for Students

Some areas of Duke Hospital do not allow the use of mobile phones, so Duke's paging service allows Physician's Assistant Program participants to stay in touch with colleagues, friends and family. These pagers are available only to participants in the Physician's Assistant Program.

To order

You must prepay a $69 deposit and two months service at the time of your order. The deposit will be refunded to your bursar account when you turn in your pager to the wireless center within seven days of your last month of service. The two months of service is a minimum commitment and not refundable. If you need your pager longer than two months, you will pre-pay for the duration of use in advance.

When you are ready to subscribe, call the OIT Service Desk at (919) 684-2200, and select option 3 ("All other requests") from the menu.
