The Allan Hancock College campus in Santa Maria was being evacuated Monday afternoon after school officials said someone called in a bomb threat.

Officials say they received the anonymous call at approximately 2:21 p.m.

"As soon as the call concluded, the college administration began to work to put out messaging to evacuate the campus, cancel classes, and get everybody off campus safely in a calm and orderly fashion," said Lauren Milbourne, Allan Hancock College Director of Public Affairs and Communications.

Classes were canceled for the rest of the day.

Campus police and officers from the Santa Maria Police Department were reportedly searching the campus.
