UiTM has campuses in every state in Malaysia, excluding the Federal Territories. Each state may contain more than one campus. The flagship state campuses are led by a Rector and smaller campuses (called city campuses) are led by a Coordinator. State campuses mainly offer pre-diploma and diploma-level programmes in themes/niches set by the flagship campus. Some degree and post-graduate programmes are also offered through a franchise agreement with the flagship campus. To qualify as a university system, accredited certification of the quality management systems for each UiTM campus must be done separately. This means that any certification granted to the flagship campus does not extend to the state campuses, and each state campus has to apply for its own certification. The system's flagship campus is situated in Shah Alam, in a designated area known formerly as Section 1. This campus houses the Chancellery and Registrar's Office. The flagship campus (and its satellite campuses) only offer programmes in foundation, degree and post-graduate levels. The management of UiTM is interested in obtaining on problems which influence students' academic performance. Among the problems identified are lack of studding skills, low motivation, poor influence, disciplinary problems and lack of recreation or sports facilities.

On February 12, 2011, more state campuses (Perak, Perlis, Sarawak & Terengganu) have been granted autonomy by the Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia.Now UiTM has 20 branches located throughout Malaysia. This is in line with the vision that all state campuses will eventually be given autonomous administration, giving each campus its own degree of creativity, to increase achievements in various aspects of the campus and its students.
