No suspicious devices were found on the Rogue Community College campuses but the investigation is ongoing, according to Medford Police.
RCC officials believe that the threat was directed at the Redwood Campus location in Grants Pass, Ore.
The college posted messages about the evacuation on Facebook and the college website on Monday.
Both incidents followed Thursday’s mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, which left 10 people dead, including the shooter, and injured nine others. However, if they do, processing time may take a while.
Rogue Community College asked students to evacuate or avoid the Redwood and Riverside campuses after a bomb threat Monday morning.
The school used its alert system to evacuate the campus while the sheriff’s office launched an investigation. More information may be available after that search has been completed.
Oregon State Police are looking into the threat.
A threat to the Redwood Campus in Grants Pass was received just after 10:00.
