I det här fallet... var det väldigt ospecifikt. Källspråket var inte ens engelska utan spanska men jag postade frågan här därför att jag hade en bra översättning från spanska till engelska. Det jag behövde var ett svenskt uttryck som fungerade i sammanhanget, och det fick jag. Men tack i alla fall för den utförliga förklaringen, kan komma till användning en annan gång.

Totally depends on which honor (if specific).

Magna, Summa, and the Honor Roll
Cum Laude

What does it mean to graduate with honors? Academic honors involve these Latin terms...

What is Cum Laude: Graduating With Honor means graduating cum laude. What does cum laude mean? Translators define cum laude as With Praise. Cum laude honors, graduated with honors, graduation honors, and graduate cum laude all involve a high GPA.

What is Magna Cum Laude: The magna cum laude definition is With Great Honor. Scholars define magna cum laude meaning With Great Praise. Usually it means you had the second best grades. Frequent misspellings: magnum cum laude, magna cum laud, magna cumme laude, magna cun laude, graduated cum laude, or my favorite magma cum laude (hot honors!).

What is Summa Cum Laude: Most define summa cum laude as With Highest Praise, and the summa cum laude definition is With Highest Honor. It usually means highest grades.
