Is it possible to hold those two different statuses at the same time for two seperate degree programs within the same college/university?

No. You would be considered as a graduate student doing stemwork.

Check with your university. I wouldn't think they would as their reputation as a place for serious academic work would be at stake. I don't think you could do the work required of both levels at the same time. I am a grad student and don't know where I would find the time to work on an undergrad degree too!
You have to have graduated with an undergrad degree before you can take the grad level in that discipline. As a grad student, you start all over .... pay your tuition, etc at a different level. If you want to be an undergrad in a different discipline, you'd have to pay a second tuition and then have the time to do all the work at that level, too!
Plus as a grad student you usually have teaching/research responsibilities in addition to your own work. And the work load at the grad level is substantially higher than that as an undergrad.

This might not hold true for all universities, but if you already have a bachelor's degree you can get accepted as a graduate student and also take classes towards a 2nd bachelor's. Otherwise your best bet is to get instructor permission to take Graduate classes as a non-degree seeking student while working on your bachelor's and then transfer them to wherever you get accepted for your master's.

You can be an undergraduate who is taking graduate-level course or a graduate student who is taking undergraduate courses, but you can't be an undergraduate and a graduate at the same time. The term "graduate" indicates that one has "graduated". If you are an undergrad, you haven't graduated.

You might be able to register separately and get into the two different programs, but I think you would be better off doing the undergrad and getting waivers to get into grad classes, and then when you're ready to focus on graduate work, do that.

no
you can be an undergraduate senior taking some graduate courses or you can be a graduate student taking some undergrad courses....but not both at the same thing.

Yes, it is. For instance, you might be going for a BS in chemistry, while at the same time you might be going for a MS in Biology, in a different Department.
