Advanced Mathematics Course (AMC) Enrollment Legislation
To support the effective implementation of NC's Advanced Courses in Mathematics legislation, the NCDPI team provides information and guidance around the impact of the legislation and the mechanism for reporting the information to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee (JLEOC).
The Advanced Math Course (AMC) legislation strengthens NC’s focus on broadening access and opportunities by ensuring that all impacted students receive rigorous, academically appropriate instruction in mathematics and that students are not overlooked for advanced learning opportunities in mathematics.
Each year, the NCDPI team provides a comprehensive report to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee (JLEOC) containing data collected for the current school year on the number and demographics of students who were eligible for advanced mathematics courses, including high school level mathematics courses in eighth grade, and for those students, the number and demographics of those who were placed in advanced mathematics courses and were not placed in advanced mathematics courses.

FAQs for Parents
The AMC legislation was designed to broaden access and successful participation in advanced courses in mathematics. The legislation guarantees students who demonstrate readiness the opportunity to access advanced coursework in mathematics, regardless of student’s address and demographic factors.
- In grades 3-5, if specific courses are not available, services based on local AIG plan must be provided for those students who score the highest level on EOG.
- In grades 6 and higher, students who score at the highest level on EOG must be placed in the next advanced math courses.
- If the student scores at the highest level in grade 7, the student must be placed in NC Math 1 in 8th grade.
The legislation stipulates that no student who qualifies can be removed without written consent from parent/guardian after the parent has been adequately informed of how placement was determined.

The last guidance document was released in Summer 2023. The NCDPI team anticipates releasing an updated guidance document in late Summer 2025.
Summer 2023 Updated Guidance Document
The official state course code list for advanced mathematics courses is updated as the course code list is updated to reflect any new courses to support districts in the statewide reporting effort. Only the course codes on this list will be included in the AMC report each year. The reporting window in the NC Student Information System will be October 1 - October 15 of each year.
