It is part of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS).

ECTC is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

This separation left ECC to operate for nearly a year and a half without formal accreditation, as the community colleges had previously received accreditation through their connection with the University of Kentucky.
