academic honors
Earned scholarly distinctions
Academic honors are formal recognitions given to students who achieve exceptional grades or academic performance.
These distinctions appear on transcripts and diplomas, with Latin designations like cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude marking graduating students in ascending levels of achievement.
Schools may also maintain an honor roll or dean's list for students who meet grade thresholds each term.
