Mississippi OT and OTA CEU requirements
What occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants need to renew a Mississippi license, summarized from the board's own rules. Last checked October 24, 2026.
Required topics
- 2 hours of ethics related to occupational therapy practice, live or recorded (ethics by state)
Rules to know
- At least 13 hours must be live: in person, or a live webinar whose certificate says it was live. At least 6 of those must relate directly to clinical OT practice.
- Up to 7 hours may be non-live, such as home study, video or recorded webinars.
- Instead of course certificates, you can renew with a current NBCOT certification, but you still need the 2 ethics hours.
- Hours don't carry over between licensure periods.

This is a plain-language summary to help you plan. Rules change and your board has the final word, so confirm with the sources above before you renew. If you also hold NBCOT certification, NBCOT has its own renewal requirements.
