Classes are scheduled to be held today in Northern Illinois University's Cole Hall -- which will be used for the first time since a gunman opened fire and killed five people four years ago, The Chicago Tribune reported.

Provost Ray Alden said that Cole Hall "now stands as testament to this university's resolve."
