½ÄÏÌåÓý will close its golf course at the end of the 2016 fall season. For 50 years, the university has been pleased to provide this service to the community, which is no longer a viable option. As the Northeast Ohio golf industry continues to experience financial challenges, the university determined that the ½ÄÏÌåÓý State Golf Course could not reverse a five-year trend of declining revenues and mounting operating losses.
Online final grading for Fall 2016 Full Term (POT 1), Third 5 Weeks (F3), Second Half Semester (H2), Second 7 Weeks (W2) begins Friday, Dec. 9, via FlashFAST.
