Can a student just remain in Honors, if after accepting the Gemstone invitation he/she decides Gemstone is not for them?
Yes, that is possible because Gemstone students are also honors students. We encourage second semester freshmen to think about the commitment that is required to work in a team conducting research for the next three years. When freshmen participate in the topic selection process of GEMS 102 (see the Gemstone Curriculum), they are asked to decide at that point if they wish to remain and commit to the team and topic. It is better for students to make that decision PRIOR to working in a team, as withdrawing after the teams are formed disrupts the team’s progress.
