It's spelled "summa".  As a noun, it means "the highest place" (think "summit" in English)  As an adjective, it means "highest", and is seen frequently in the phrase "summa cum laude" which is a university graduation distinction meaning "with highest honors".

If you know the name of the school the person graduated from, call the Registrar/Records office and ask.\n\nSchools are allowed to release the following information about students:  Name, telephone number, e-mail address, major, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and enrollment status (full- or part-time).\n\nYou may not be able to get this information if the person has requested that it not be released.

Check out the recruiting statistics from each school - where do they mostly place, how many students have a job right at graduation, 3 months after 6 months after, and 1 year after.  That should give you an idea of the quality, and also the real prospects for graduation.  I assume starting salary will be very comparable.

Contact the Registrar's Office of the college/university that granted the degree.  Give the person's name when they attended and their year of graduation.  They will confirm or deny that they granted the degree.

Once coursework is completed, the actuall diploma is awarded at the last day of classes, however if you are attending a larger school, many have options for calligraphy and framing, which take longer.\n\nIf you are asking about how long the class work is, it varies with each student, and when they stopped their "formal" education.  \n\nThe length of time can be from as short as 2 semesters to 2+ years.

Be famous or be born into lots of money. I just watched a special last night about all those colleges, Yale, Harvard, Brown, etc. They said it matters not what kind of grades you make, you can have a perfect GPA, but they favor those certain individuals that already have had everything handed over to them in life. They said they have an image to uphold...what kind of sh!t is that? It's true...

During graduation, give everyone a marble.  As everybody goes up to get their diplomas, as you shake hands with the principal, tell everyone to leave their marbles with him. By the end of the cermony, the principal shall be left with hundreds of marbles that he can't let go of cause then he might trip and fall.

The school system where you graduated from. They have a records department. You may not be able to get an actual diploma copy, but can get your transcript which would show that you graduated.

You'll have to go to the School and check.\nThis is done to avoid confusion between people who have the same names. Believe me, three people in my class had the same name right down to their initials!

Not your GPA usually but they will check sometimes to make sure you did graduate and didn't lie about that.

there are usually more than the top three but a range on gpa or grade point average. usually the gpa ranges from 0 to 4 and some schools go up to 5 but they end up having to "translate" it into the more widely used 4 point scale. \n\nbut i believe graduating with honors  is in the range of 3.5 to 4.0 gpa. there are 3 "ranks" you can be included in - cum laude, summa cum laude and magna cum laude. cum laude itself means "with honors" in latin. i can't remember what summa means but magna is like saying with the greatest of honors. \n\nbut basically it means you are the cream of the crop so to speak.\n\nim sorry but they seem to be blocking out the word  C U M which is understandable BUT it means "with" in latin
