Your student has the option to drop Gemstone entirely and go into University Honors instead (that’s the only kind of LLP switching that’s allowed). But, if your student just doesn’t like her team/project, that’s something they could probably talk about with the Gemstone directors and figure out once they gets here. Any specifics about the Gemstone program should probably be directed at the Gemstone office. (I’m not sure there are many people on CC with students who have participated in Gemstone.) Here’s a link with their contact info: http://www.gemstone.umd.edu/newstudents/prospective.html . I’d recommend calling them on Monday.
