Students were alerted to the campus lock down just after 11:30 Sunday night. The lock down was lifted a few hours later.
SVU officials say every building on campus was checked and they believe the campus is secure. Monday turned out to be a normal day for work and class schedules.
SVU officials say a call came in through a deaf service Sunday night, claiming that there were bombs on campus that would be detonated unless the caller received an undisclosed amount of money.
Law enforcement officials questioned a couple of individuals but made no arrests.
Until the investigation is concluded, SVU officials are asking students, faculty and staff to report anything suspicious to 911.
