I don't think diplomas nor resumes normally list failed classes ;)
- ffef 10y agoIt's not uncommon for employers to request GPA and/or transcripts. Source: I graduated 2 years ago.
- alkonaut 10y agoI always get them without even asking (Europe). I never received a "diploma" however. Only transcripts of classes.
- agox 10y agoI've never been asked for GPA or transcripts (been graduated since 2012). YMMV, depends on where you apply I guess.
- khedoros1 10y agoI graduated in 2008 and was asked for my GPA when I applied somewhere in 2015...but that was an unusual case. One place out of dozens.
- brianwawok 10y agoIf I see a resume with any GPA but a 4.0, I generally laugh. If you got a 4.0, sure put it on resume. But a 3.2 or a 3.6? Silly, leave it off. Source: Graduated longer than 2 years ago. Never been asked for a transcript.
- alkonaut 10y agoIt's usually obvious from the ones I see (I don't see diplomas I get transcripts with classes taken, dates they were passed, and grades) The usual sign is someone e.g getting a masters degree 2000-2005, and passing the introductory math classes in 2005.
- ekm2 10y agoYour metric will lock me out:I did Real and Complex Analysis sophomore year but was forced to take intro to statistics senior year in order to graduate.
- alkonaut 10y agoThat kind of thing is in every transcript. Doesn't look strange at all with the odd one like that. It's rather systematic failure I'm trying to look out for.
