Mississippi Real Estate CE Courses (2026)

What Mississippi requires for Real Estate renewal

Active salespersons must complete 16 clock hours of approved CE per two-year renewal cycle. Of these, 8 hours are mandatory required-subject hours: 2 hours Mississippi License Law, 2 hours Mississippi Contract Law, and 4 hours Mississippi Agency Law; the remaining 8 hours are electives (which can include ethics, fair housing, etc.). Statute caps required subjects at 8 of the 16 hours. First-renewal distinction: a licensee who has satisfactorily completed the required post-license course and received a permanent license is exempt from the 16-hour CE requirement for the FIRST renewal of that permanent license. Additionally, a first-renewal applicant licensed not more than one year is not required to comply. Up to 6 excess hours earned in the final 3 months of a renewal period may be carried over to the next period. Licensees 65+ who have been licensed 25+ years are exempt; inactive licensees are not required to do CE but must make up missed hours before reactivating.
