Renewing in Mississippi
The Mississippi Autism Board licenses behavior analysts in the state, for a licensure period of up to 3 years. You need to renew before your license expires; it terminates at midnight on the expiration date if you don't. Mississippi requires 12 hours of continuing education every year, reported to the board by June 30, with extra hours carrying over to the next year. One of those 12 hours each year has to be ethical or legal continuing education.

July 2026 Changes Affecting Mississippi BCBAs
Format Change: Participation Monitoring for Asynchronous CE
Starting July 1, 2026, asynchronous (self-paced) CE includes participation monitoring — at least 3 knowledge-check questions per CEU, the handbook's example measure, or other active responding. This is not a video- or interactive-only mandate: live webinars, video, journal clubs, and podcasts all remain valid CE when they include the required knowledge checks. CEUs already in your record are unaffected.
Is your CE provider ready? For on-demand CE, the BACB's listed measure is knowledge questions on the event, at least 3 per CEU. Our BACB CE courses use it, and you need 80% to earn your certificate.
