Will graduate next month, can I list "cum Laude, etc" on resume?

Based on my GPA, I already know that I will be graduating next month with honors, Summa Cum Laude and possibly Salutatorian. Would it be unethical to list that on my resume now? I ask because I know the job search process usually takes months and by the time they actually get around to looking at it, I probably will have graduated by that point.

Not sure how much of a difference it would make, but would it be bad to list these things when I haven't actually graduated yet?

Thanks:)
