I took an undergraduate course during my graduate studies. Will the grade of this course count towards my graduate GPA or undergraduate GPA?

Best answer would come from AACOMAS support. But I think you'd place it as your graduate GPA because you already completed your UG degree. It'd be the most transparent.

I believe any courses taken while enrolled in a graduate program end up in your graduate GPA:
Definitions for Completing College and Coursework
Academic Status
Freshman: Approximately 0 - 32 semester hours completed
Sophomore: Approximately 31 - 64 semester hours completed
Junior: Approximately 61 - 96 semester hours completed
Senior: Approximately 91 - completion of undergraduate degree
Post Baccalaureate: Courses taken after completion of the bachelor’s degree, including those for a subsequent bachelor’s degree, but not while enrolled in a graduate degree program
Graduate: Courses taken while enrolled in a graduate degree program

Yeah, just email AACOMAS to be certain. They're good about writing back pretty quickly.
@jonnythan has the right info above, but I want to say that if it's an undergraduate course, it will be calculated in your post-bacc GPA, not graduate. Their going to know that an undergraduate course was not part of any graduate degree program.
For the record, I took a ton of undergraduate courses after my Bachelor's degree and while enrolled in a graduate degree program. I calculate them under post-bacc, not graduate on my own running GPA calculator.
