Police at Cornell University in New York, Brown University in Rhode Island, and Columbia University in New York City gave the all clear on Sunday after each received separate bomb threats.
The police said activities could resume normally at the three elite Ivy League universities.
Several buildings were evacuated on the campuses of the three schools after bomb threats were phoned into each school.
Hours later, police at each campus said the threats were not credible.
“Law enforcement has concluded search of the Ithaca campus; no credible threats were found. It is safe to resume all normal activities,” Cornell University, a school of 21,000 students, said in a tweet.
It is unclear if the threats were connected.
On Friday, Yale University, an Ivy League school in New Haven, Connecticut, received bomb threats that were also later found not to be credible.
