"with honors": the blocked word is Latin for "with" and is not vulgar in this context.
Updated after seeing "Hi ya'll" incorrect response:
magna c.. laude means "with great honor"
summa c.. laude means "with highest honor"
Check out Wikipedia to see:

(I initially answered without having to use Wikipedia.)
Any honor in general is considered "over and beyond" decent grades. For many schools, 3.5 and up is c.. laude, 3.67 and up is magna c.. laude, and 3.75 and up is summa c.. laude. In other words, even a "B" average isn't considered "with honors."

At my school, it means you graduated with one of the following overall GPAs:
*** laude: at least 3.5
magna *** laude: at least 3.7
summa *** laude: at least 3.9

The qualification "c u m laude" means with high honors. Your study results were over and beyond what is needed to graduate.
Isn't it ridiculous that you have to space the first word, for it to pass the obscenity filter?
