If I can add, this comes up a lot, and the implication is that TESU is doing something unusual. It is the case that 99% of the time, ANY and EVERY 4 year college you transfer to does not bring over grades. Spend some time poking around, I bet that even the school you're considering for your MEd follows the same policy for undergrads.
What creates an interesting situation is when the student opts to not take any classes for graded credits. This has NOTHING to do with TESU and everything to do with the student's preferences. Since you already have graded credit, as Dave mentioned, those won't be gone, they'll just not be on your TESU transcript as grades. The grades are still very real and will (probably) make up your cumulative GPA when you apply to grad school.
Further, if you need *more* graded credits, especially those in your major or to meet grad school requests, then simply do that. Yes, TESU charges about $500 per credit, but that's competitive with most 4-year colleges, especially when you consider that you do NOT have a 15-30-45 credit residency requirement. At TESU, you get to choose how many classes you take with them. I took classes for the express purpose of having graded credit in my major for grad school (granted, it was a bit cheaper when I did it) but don't try and change your career / dream / aspirations to fit into a TESU degree - do the degree in the way that helps you achieve YOUR goals.
