Police have withdrawn from the University of Tasmania after fake security threats.
The university received a "general" threat on an internet message board on Monday night, a day after the University of NSW received similar online threats to students and staff.
"We do not consider the threat to be genuine and does not pose a risk," Tasmania Police Commander Glenn Frame said.
Police believe the hoax came from outside Australia.
Nine News Online reported the post was uploaded to online message board 4chan at 8pm on Monday night, and read: "Don't go to Tas Uni (University of Tasmania, Australia Tomorrow) [sic] ... Im going to turn off my internet and leave so the cops dont get me [sic]."
The post has since been removed.
Police were on all University of Tasmania campuses, reassuring staff and students to remain calm and go on with their business as usual.
Mr Frame said the threats were similar to those made against UNSW, and acknowledged tracing their source was problematic because of the message service's user anonymity.
"We certainly do all we can to look into it, but unfortunately the web is not only national, it's international," he said.
"The early indications are that the source is unlikely to be local."
The university's Director of HR Chris Smyth earlier thanked police for their quick work and staff and students for their patience.
