Another resume question: "cum laude" or "with honors"?

S1 messed it up w/ pass/fail. He was at Magna (gpa level) entering his last semester.
Took a PE class (scuba diving) for fun as p/f. Did great in the class would have made an “A”.

Made a B in difficult class that dropped him .02 below magna level. He ended up “cum laude”. If he hadn’t taken the PE class as pass/fail, he would have gotten an “A” and graduated magna instead of cum. That was four years ago…hasn’t made an impact on his life/employment.
