I don't think that you have to even declare that extra degree or cert. I'm pretty sure that if they question a course registration, saying it's for residency purposes would be perfectly valid.
That said, it's a good idea to add one for another reason. After you graduate, your enrollment is normally terminated. If you have an unearned degree or cert still on your student account, then your enrolled status will continue until it expires because you haven't registered for courses in a year. That can be handy if you think you might want to sneak a few more alt credit courses onto your transcript, or just to enjoy student discounts or perks like Office365 for that extra time.
