Some certs are required for the degree, like the CompTIA certs, so they pay for the first two attempts, then the student pays for attempts three and four. Not sure if they allow a fifth attempt.
However, in the new degree tracks, it appears that the AWS and Azure certifications are not required for the degree. Instead, there will be a WGU exam, and then the student gets a voucher to take the certification on their own. That's what the double asterisks seems to signify.

That's the idea here - either A, or B, or a little of A & B. If someone wanted all the certs, they could theoretically complete all of A, then change track to B, but that would likely end up costing far more in tuition than the certs themselves. For example, the three AWS certs only cost $75 each if you pass them on the first attempt, so $225 total.
