##Updated List of Institutions Promoting Open Access Dissertations  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).  Note they that the universities with NoQuest or Proquest-optional policies  are all heavy-hitters in terms of research output and impact, with 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 — please feel free to add a comment to let us know of any schools we’ve missed!
