2012 Regional Homecoming Court Candidate Information
Each year, student leaders are chosen to represent each of The Ohio State University campuses as
members of the Homecoming Court. These individuals are selected by a judging panel consisting of
staff, faculty, and notable alumni. The court members are chosen based on their ability to exemplify the
qualities of leadership, spirit, integrity, and achievement through their contributions and involvement at
The Ohio State University.

Requirements for regional campus courts
Undergraduates who will have completed at least 45 (30 semester) credit hours by the beginning of
autumn quarter and maintaining a 2.50 cumulative G.P.A. are eligible to apply for the 2012 Homecoming
Court. No members of the 2012 Homecoming Committee or past court members may apply.

Selection
Six students will be selected as members of the 2012 Homecoming Courts on each extended campus.
Alternates will be chosen but not announced unless a Court member cannot fulfill his or her obligations.
>From these individuals, a King and Queen will be selected. The King and Queen will be announced
during the Homecoming festivities. The selection is based upon a combination of student vote,
application scores, interview scores and GPA. In the event of a tie, the highest GPA determines the
results.  Each of the regional campuses will have a court of 6; 3 candidates for Queen and 3 candidates for King.

Recognitions
Regional Homecoming Court members will be recognized at a regional campus crowning ceremony in
Columbus with families and friends; participate in the Homecoming Parade in Columbus; be announced
at the Skull Session; and be recognized during the Homecoming football game. Additional recognition
may vary by campus.

Obligations
Those selected as Court members will be required to attend a number of Homecoming functions including
a crowing ceremony, the parade, Skull Session, game, and other activities scheduled in Columbus and
on each regional campus. Professional attire will be required for some appearances. Costs for travel to
and from Columbus, optional hotel stays and other discretionary costs are the responsibility of the
student. Appearances, service projects and 2013 Homecoming Planning throughout the 2012-2013
academic year will also be required. Each applicant must understand that these appearances are
mandatory, and by accepting the court position, is also agreeing to fulfill them.

Deadlines/Copies
Applications are due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 6, 2012 to The Ohio State University at Marion,
Maynard Hall, Room 100, Registrar's Office, ATTN: Nadea Khorbotly. Four stapled copies of the

Interviews
Homecoming Court interviews will be held between April 23-27. The judging panel may consist of faculty,
staff, or students of The Ohio State University at Marion. The 2012 Homecoming Court will be selected based
on the application (30%), interview (60%) and G.P.A. (10%). The King and Queen will then be chosen during
Homecoming Week through a combination of the application, interview, and G.P.A. and student vote.
All applicants will be notified of an interview time by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18.
