If someone graduates Cumm Laude (Cumm is actually spelled C-u-m), that person is graduating with honors. There are also Magna Cumm Laude, high honors, and Summa Cumm Laude, highest honors. The distinctions are based on the person's GPA and depending on the university, they may have set GPA such as 3.4-3.6 for Cumm Laude or they may use percentages such as top 1% of the graduating class gets Summa Cumm Laude.

*** Laude is when someone graduates with a cumulative GPA of a 3.5-3.7. It's honors for many colleges and universities. It's not a huge deal to be honest.

Cumm Laude......3.5
Summa Cumm Laude......3.5-3.7
Magna Cumm Laude ......3.7-4.0

*** laude, summa *** laude and magna *** laude are Latin for with praise, with high praise and with the highest praise..so *** laude means with praise though there is a distinction between the British and the American system, in the British system *** laude means high praise and the order goes like this laude, *** laude and summa *** laude..so depends on the American or the British university choose the meaning...all the best..do well

In the USA, there are three honors often added to diplomas and degrees, and a fourth less commonly used.

c-u-m laude -- with praise
magna c-u-m laude -- with great praise
summa c-u-m laude -- with highest praise
egregia c-u-m laude -- with outstanding praise; less used; intended to be higher than summa c-u-m laude in spite of summa meaning highest.
