Yes. Every course you take at a school is calculated in.
Since so often here on the forum we interchange the terms 'course' with alternative credits course/exam/etc - I do want to point out that TECEP does not count towards GPA at TESU, so failing one of them does not impact the GPA (you simply don't get credit). As dfrecore stated, every course taken through TESU does count towards the TESU GPA - pass or fail - just as it would at any school.

Ah, so the GPA TESU themselves will calculate will only be based on the transferable credits, and not on the GPA from all the non-transferable credits and transferable credits combined, correct?

Correct. To be clear, the transfer GPA is used only to determine that you meet the minimum and will appear on your academic eval. The only GPA that will appear on your official transcript will be the TESU GPA.

GPA = grade point average
TESU will consider the Grade of transfer course for credit purposes but will not consider their Grade Point Average or use the Grades in calculating a TESU Grade Point Average.
