30 Miss. Code. R. 3201-12.6
Newly licensed psychologists are considered to have satisfied continuing education requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year in which their license is granted. Therefore, if the subsequent year (July 1-June 30) is a CE reporting year, the newly licensed psychologist shall be required to submit only one-half (1/2) the number of hours specified above, that is, ten (10) hours.
Continuing education activities that are not provided by APA- or Board-approved providers will be accepted only if a written request for approval is made prior to the scheduled program. The request must be received in sufficient time, preferably one month or more, for the Board to review the program for content and appropriateness, insuring that the program has objectives compatible with the professional continuing education needs of practicing psychologists.
CE activities that are not provided by APA or Board approved providers, regardless of their quality or appropriateness will not be accepted after the fact and will not count toward the required 20 hours in the reporting period.
In extenuating circumstance, the Board may consider granting an extension of the deadline for completion of the required continuing education if a plan for compliance is submitted in writing prior to the deadline.
