"Cum Laude" is a Latin term meaning "with honor." It is an academic distinction awarded to students who achieve a high level of academic excellence during their studies, typically at the undergraduate level. This honor is often part of a system that includes other distinctions, such as Magna Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude, which represent higher levels of achievement. To qualify for the "Cum Laude" designation, students usually need to maintain a specific grade point average (GPA) set by their educational institution. This recognition is often noted on diplomas and transcripts, highlighting the student's dedication and hard work throughout their academic career.
