The faculty association said strike action could have begun in the morning after conciliation failed to produce a deal earlier this week.
Details of the agreement at the roughly one-thousand student school — known for its journalism program — were not released.
The association has said previously that its members are the worst-paid full-time instructors in Atlantic Canada.
Currie says classes and other academic activities will now continue as planned.
