PhD Admit showing as MA in online portal?

[Triangular]

About three weeks ago I was notified by the department that I've been recommended for admission and I would receive the official letter from the Grad School in a few weeks. I still haven't received the letter (I know I know, it can take time), but when I went to check the online portal today it still says "pending" and now the "PhD" part has been changed to "MA." What happened? In the program, students earn their MA on the way to PhD, so I'm wondering if anyone who is in a similar program has MA on their official records at first?

I emailed the grad school as well - but naturally I turned to you fine folks for any info you may have. As always, thanks!
