Office of Educator Licensure
Below are links to information regarding the renewal and reinstatement of a standard, renewable Mississippi educator license. Requirements are the same to renew or reinstate your license. Please note that the Mississippi Department of Education no longer approves programs for professional learning credit. School districts, organizations, or individuals wishing to prepare and offer a program for professional learning credit must submit an application to an accredited professional learning credit granting agency. Any Continuing Education Office at a college, university, or community/junior college is an accredited professional learning credit-granting agency. Once programs are approved, they may be offered, and certificates will be issued to successful participants by the approving agency.
- Who can RENEW a license? An educator who holds a valid, five (5) year standard active license.
- Who can REINSTATE a license? An educator who has held a five (5) year standard renewable license that has expired.
