Latin honors

Phrases for levels of academic distinction

Latin honours are a system of Latin phrases used in some colleges and universities to indicate the level of distinction with which an academic degree has been earned. The system is primarily used in the United States. It is also used in some Southeastern Asian countries with European colonial history, such as Indonesia and the Philippines, and African countries such as Zambia and South Africa, although sometimes translations of these phrases are used instead of the Latin originals. The honours distinction should not be confused with the honors degrees offered in some countries, or with honorary degrees.
