KNOXVILLE (AP) — The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has extended its application deadlines for the fall 2014 semester.

The new regular deadline is Dec. 15, but those students who want to be considered for competitive scholarships and the Chancellor's Honors Program must apply by Nov. 15.

According to the university, deadlines are being extended because of technical issues with the Common Application, which allows students to apply to multiple colleges and universities at one time.

Prospective UT students can apply through either the Vol in Progress (VIP) system or Common Application.

Students who used the Common Application and have received an acknowledgement of their application from UT should not apply a second time.
