French term or phrase: (E) in "ADMIS (E) AVEC MENTION BIEN"
I am just wondering and want to check if (E) has a significant meaning in the sentence

ADMIS (E) AVEC MENTION BIEN
meaning
Admitted or passed with honors

Would you please provide me with a more accurate translation?

Thank you.

Explanation:
Surely it's just an "e" to cover a female student "admise" as well as a male one (admis), in the same way we might add and "s" to a noun such as student(s)?

agree  Andrew Mason: I agree leave it as it is. Translating as 'passed with honours' is inappropriate since there are also 'assez bien' and 'très bien' with the simple 'bien' being in the middle.

Passed


Explanation:
I think there is a space where there shouldn’t be a space but this just means it could be feminine? As it would agree with the gender of the person who has passed
