When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

A registrar or registrary is an official in an academic institution (a college, university, or secondary school) who handles student records.
Typically, a registrar processes registration requests, schedules classes and maintains class lists, enforces the rules for entering or leaving classes, and keeps a permanent record of grades and marks. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for registrars in the United States was just under $72k in 2008-2009. [1] In institutions with selective admission requirements, a student only begins to be in connection with the registrar's official actions after admission

Henry Hinds
: Wrong context; this is from a Federal Government Cabinet Department. Sorry, look again, it clearly mentions "SEP (Secretaría de educación pública de México)".

There is no mention of the SEP being a Federal Government Cabinet Dept. Many countries have their own Governmental Dept of Education and so I just chose a general term that would be understood in Canada, or any other country where they speak English

Seth, thank you very much for your opinion, over 10 years after the question was closed. The late Henry Hinds made it quite clear that my answer was wrong.
