I'm wondering what conditional admission letter means? It says so in Lane Community College international application. It says "Do you wish to have a conditional admission letter from Lane’s 2+2 partners?" And then you can check either yes or no. Not being native English speaking nor an American, I'm confused.
2+2 means that: after attending Lane Community College for two years, a 4-year college will let you take the last 2 years of courses there and give you a four year degree. However, it's "conditional" because you have to complete the program at Lane Community College and earn a certain grade point average.
If you don't meet those conditions, the partner school will take back, or "rescind" your acceptance. But even if this happens, you will still get your degree from Lane Community College assuming you met all the requirements.
I would say check it if you have any interest in earning a 4-year degree in the United States. Otherwise, check no.

Thank you for your answer! I was stupid enough to have already check the yes box yesterday, before I knew what was really about. So have I pretty much "signed up" for studying at University of Oregon then? Or is it more of a request? I've been told though that I can back out of the offer so to speak, if I don't want to continue on for a bachelor. But who knows, maybe I actually end up doing it after all but it's not in my planning as of now.
You don't have to go and you can easily back out of the 2+2 program, probably with just one call or e-mail to whoever your academic adviser is. If you stay signed up for it, you'll still get your associate's whether or not you continue to get your bachelor's.

I don't know anything about "Lane Community College", but I would urge you to do a lot of research if you are an international student looking to come over to the US for college. Community colleges usually cater to commuter students who live nearby the school. Most of them do not offer residential services (dormitories), and will have limited dedicated services to assist international students (perhaps none at all). Extra-curricular activities and other means to build a social life may also be limited.
I don't mean to discourage you....I just wanted to point this out. I know that everyone is different and many people will make even the most challenging situations work because they have the drive to do it. But I know with the community college that is in my area...they wouldn't have a clue how to handle an international student (trust me; I've gone there...and my boyfriend's mother works there). They rarely even get students who live out of the county. But like I said before, every school is different. Research what you can first....perhaps see if you can talk to someone, at Lane Community College, who has direct experience with working with international students.

Usually it means that if you meet the requirements you may attend U of Oregon. It usually does not mean you MUST attend U or Oregon.
I have dealt with Lane CC before when I was at Oregon State.
They have a very solid articulation agreement with University of Oregon. An articulation agreement means that Oregon has agreed that certainly classes (in this case, most classes) will automatically transfer credit to Oregon and the student who completes the 2+2 coursework at the CC level will be automatically admitted to Oregon.
It is a well thought out and thoroughly documented program; probably one of the best and most successful CC to 4-year articulation programs you will find in the country. There is no requirement to continue on from Lane CC to Oregon. In fact, I think Lane has an articulation agreement with all the Oregon public schools (I know they do with Oregon State - I had a minor contribution to the Geosciences portion of the agreement). The U of O agreement is just stronger because it has the conditional acceptance built in.
As well, Lane CC is set up very much like a 4-year campus. The expectations of students are similar to what you would see at Oregon. This is on purpose to make the transition easier.
As an added bonus, Lane is in Eugene just like U of O (really just outside of Eugene). The two campuses are only 5 miles apart. So, you have already lived in the same town as U of O for two years by the time you are ready to transfer schools.
Thank you all for your answers, they are much appreciated!
