2nd degree after residency

[tallpilot]

Did they ask if they can do both at once or did they ask to have the second degree added to their plan?

I think this is the trick. Add the second degree, complete all the requirements then pay the graduation fee once. In the grand scheme of things the graduation fee is the smallest fee you will pay so even if you have to pay it twice that shouldn’t be a dealbreaker for what should be a very marketable combination.
