Athletics

Ohio University Eastern Campus and the four other Ohio University branch campuses dropped sports, effective the 2021 fall semester. Finances throughout Ohio University have been an issue since the outset of COVID-19 in March 2020, which forced the university to close its buildings and shift to a remote learning model. OUE sponsored men's and women's basketball, volleyball and golf as a part of the Ohio Regional Campus Conference. It also had cross country for a short period of time. [5]

Campus

Ohio University Eastern comprises two facilities: Shannon Hall and the Health and Physical Education Center.

The college was accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, and was placed under academic probation in 2020 by the Higher Learning Commission due to ongoing long-term financial struggles. In December 2021, the OVU Board of Directors voted to close the college after the Fall 2021 semester. The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission voted to revoke OVU's authority to grant degrees shortly thereafter. Seniors were allowed to finish their degrees without the loss of any credit hours in the spring semester of 2022 at several other institutions of higher education related to Churches of Christ through "teach out" agreements.
