California State University, Northridge is holding its final exams off-campus after receiving two mass-shooting threats in a week.
A second warning came after a racist message was discovered in one of the university’s bathrooms threatening a mass killing on the first day of finals.
The discovered graffiti at Sierra Hall read ‘mass shooting in Sierra Hall 12/12/18’, accompanied by a swastika underneath.
After a handwritten note was found in the school by a student, university bosses told lecturers to offer off-campus alternatives to exams, which are due to start today.
Northridge academy High School, which neighbors the university, was also threatened in the violent note.
The potential mass-shooter said that they intend to kill as many people as possible before they are stopped.
Students who do not feel comfortable coming to campus will be able to seek alternative arrangements including online exams.
University President Dianne Harrison said in a statement: ‘While law enforcement does not believe there is an imminent threat to campus, I recognize the extreme stress and anxiety the recent threats of violence have caused our community.
‘CSUN Police and partner law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the threats and maintain their increased patrols across campus.’
Harrison advised that any students who request to take their finals off campus will not be subject to any imposed penalty.
