Cum is pronounced like it the beginning of cumin (the spice). It should rhyme with womb. Laude should sound like you're talking to a Canadian at a rock concert: "Loud, eh?"
"Kum Loud-a" The "C" is hard the "u & e" are soft
It has several correct pronunciations:
soom-uh koom lou-dey?
soom-uh koom lou-duh
soom-uh koom lou-dee
suhm-uh kuhm law-dee
MAG-na coom LOUD-ay.
no you don't
Latin
3.65-3.79 cum laude 3.80-3.89 magnum cum laude 3.90+ summa cum laude
Use lower case and italicize cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum.
I graduated from Harvard Summa Cum Laude.
Summa cum laude is the highest distinction
Cum laude means 'with honor', magna cum laude is 'with high honor', and summa cum laude means 'with the greatest honor'. These designations are granted to every graduate who meets a required grade-point average, so several students in a class, or even an entire class, could graduate cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude. The valedictorian is the student with the highest academic rank in the class, so you would expect he would at least be a cum laude graduate. But if you have a class where no one has over a B average, there will still be a valedictorian but he will not be graduated with honors.
The highest level of honors is Summa Cum Laude, then comes Magna Cum Laude, and then Cum Laude. Thus, a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0 is Summa Cum Laude. Acutally, Summa Cum Laude starts at a 3.85 GPA. Still, different institutions have different requirements.
Summa cum laude is the highest it means "With highest honor"Magna cum laude means "With great Honor"Cum Laude means "With honor"
Absolutely. List it under education. In other words list the college or university and note the honors. For example Rutgers University, graduated Cum Laude. You earned it, use it. Resumes are a time to toot your horn!
no
That is the correct spelling of the honor applied to a graduating student, summa cum laude (with highest honors).
loudi
The honors, cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude, are awarded at the college level.
