What is the School of Hard Knocks all about?
The School of Hard Knocks Registry is an online association of individuals seeking to receive recognition
of their accomplishments in life.
This is a self-policing registry comprised of responsible individuals who uphold high
standards of integrity and honesty in their respective fields of endeavor. By enrolling in the
School of Hard Knocks, registrants agree to abide by the spirit and practices of the website.
The School of Hard Knocks provides recognition to participants in the school of life. Certificates are
available for (Undergraduate) those individuals who are experiencing the lessons of life, (Advanced Studies)
for those experiencing more advanced and ongoing lessons in life and (Honorary PHD) for those individuals
who have over come the more challenging experiences of life.
The registry is dedicated to the "Principles of Good Business"
and the concept of honor and individual responsibility through a common set of
rules and practices. It was developed to reflect the Common Expectations of society because
it is through the fulfillment of those expectations that feelings of mutual trust and respect
is maintained.
Is this a "Real" Degree?
The School of Hard Knocks is NOT a recognized or accredited educational institution. Certificates are
intended for personal satisfaction and novelty purposes only. They are not intended for, nor do we take
any responsibility for their use in any fraud or dishonesty.

avocations.

Active registrants are granted a limited license to use and display logos and copyright materials belonging to the

There are four types of listings and the following is a brief description of what each listing includes:
Graduate recognizes those individuals who have experienced the lessons of life and have graduated (passed away) to a higher level of education.
Undergraduate recognizes for those individuals who are now experiencing the lessons of life.
Advanced Studies is for those individuals experiencing more advanced ongoing lessons in life.
Honary PHD is reserved for those individuals who have inspired us by overcoming the more challenging experiences of life.
Applications for advanced recognition will be reviewed prior to their final determination.

Each listing remains part
ot the School of Hard Knocks enrollment history. However, on-line access is reserved only
for those individuals with an active registration status. Active enrollments are for a
period of one year with expiration occuring on the anniversary of the last entollment
submission.
There is a listing hierarchy. Active listings are generally in alphabetical
order but, Advanced Degree listings have priority over Undergraduate listing which are then
followed by any inactive registrations.
Changes to listings can be made at anytime. Listings may also be upgraded to Advanced Recognition
subject to satisfactory approval of the increased experience of the registrant. The upgraded registration is also good for one year. Upgrading
should typically be done when it is time to renew the listing as there are no refunds of any
submitted listings.
Each listing has a unique identification that can be accessed from any web browser. This
feature allows for the creation of web links to be used in various forms of advertising and
publications by the individual.
Once a listing is submitted, notification will be sent to the site administrator who will
process the commitment and prepare the certification documents, according to the type of listing.
Upon completion, the certification documents will be placed in the Document Gallery. Access to
the (pdf) certification documents and the Document Gallery is available by visiting the link on
the individual listing.

will receive a Welcome e-mail message.

be uploaded to the Document Galley upon their completion. User's may replace the certificate with any document
they choose, subject to the size limitation, and must be in either .doc or .pdf formats. Recognition Certificates
will only be replaced upon payment of a replacement fee.
What happens if a listing is not renewed?

School of Hard Knocks Registry. Inactive listings will remain accessible in the search menus.

be the only accessible link and contents of the Document Gallery may be lost. The original
enrollment and latest registration dates will continue to be shown. Inactive listings can be renewed at anytime, but replacement certification
documents will only be made available upon the payment of a replacement fee.
What is the cost to register?

Yes. The registered user may submit any number of listings. However, the registered user is
responsible for all of all the individuals registered under their

of a user’s privileges.
