Applicants who have completed more than one year of postsecondary work outside the United States (including its territories) or Canada must have their academic records translated and evaluated, at their own expense, and sent to Chicago-Kent. Applicants are exempted from this requirement if the total amount of work completed at all foreign institutions combined is the equivalent of one year or less of undergraduate study in the United States, its territories, or Canada. This exemption includes foreign work completed through a study abroad, consortium, or exchange program sponsored by a U.S. or Canadian institution, where the work is clearly indicated as such on the home campus transcript.
请问这段话啥意思，不用逐句翻译，说出大意即可，另外还想问，这段话，没有说自考生不能申请他们学校吧。谢谢
