The following American universities prefer ETD access from open access repositories. Research has shown that Universities that have shifted away from a ProQuest/UMI mandate see a precipitous decline in student uptake of that service (Potvin, 2012).
### Institutional data provided comes from the following published, authoritatitive sources:
* The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education ®
* NSF Ranking of Graduate School size
Note that the universities with NoQuest or Proquest-optional policies are all heavy-hitters in terms of research output and scholarly impact. Their institutional status is noted below in terms of Carnegie Classification; top ranking in graduate program size (according to [NSF's Science and Engineering Doctorates Report 2014](http://wayback.archive-it.org/org-963/20160210160522/http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/2016/nsf16300/data-tables.cfm)) and membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities.
### This list continues to grow.
