Establishes provisions for use of applicant and student criminal history at institutions of higher education and proprietary institutions.

The bill establishes provisions for the use of criminal history information at institutions of higher education and degree-granting proprietary institutions. It generally prohibits these institutions from inquiring about an applicant's criminal history on admission applications, except for a question about specific serious crimes. Institutions may consider an applicant's criminal history if it is voluntarily provided or included on a national application service. Institutions may deny admission based on certain serious crimes but must notify the applicant and allow an appeal.
