WSU Tech is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, coordinated by the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR), and governed by the Sedgwick County Technical Education and Training Authority Board (SCTETA).

[3] WSU Tech operates four different campuses throughout the metropolitan area of Wichita.

Within the Kansas Board of Regents' purview is the establishment of policies related to all institutions and the approval of all programs and course offerings.

Institutions that wish to deliver approved programs or courses within the service area governed by the Kansas Wichita Area Technical College Board of Regents must seek approval from that university annually.

However, technical schools and colleges located in the same county as a regents' university do not fall under this regulation.
