The honors are typically based on a students grade point average (GPA). Each college or university may have a cut-off particular to itself. Some may start at a GPA of 3.4 for Cum Laude. The three common honors for colleges and universities within the United States are as follows from lowest to highest.

* Cum Laude * Magna Cum Laude * Summa Cum Laude (highest honor)

Is summa cum laude a higher distinction than valedictorian?

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.
