2026 Homecoming Court Application

Congratulations on being nominated to represent your organization on this year's Homecoming Court!

In order to move forward in the process, you must complete all sections of the formal Homecoming Court application and submit payment. All materials must be submitted by Friday, June 12 at 11:59 p.m., or your nomination will be forfeited.

Selection Process Overview
The selection of our Homecoming King and Queen is based on a comprehensive, cumulative scoring process. This approach ensures members of Homecoming Court are well-rounded Bearcats who excel in academics, campus leadership, and community engagement.

Candidates are evaluated across four areas:

• Formal Written Application
• In-Person Interview
• Cumulative GPA through Spring Semester 2026
• Student Vote

Together, these components create a total score. The King and Queen candidates with the highest cumulative scores will be crowned during halftime of the Cincinnati vs. Texas Tech Homecoming football game on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Nominees must be in good academic and disciplinary standing, and submit all sections of the application, including payment, by the deadline. Incomplete applications and those missing payments will not move forward in the process.
