I'd be interested in knowing if anyone out there has information on how relevant these are, individually. Because unless someone is looking to get into grad school, it just seems to me that overall gradepoint is going to be the issue. Another question: do employers really look at transcripts if you're over 25 years old?
Nobody is going to be concerned about what score you got in the long run. If anything, it's the grade that counts.
Employers usually just want to make sure you have a legitimate degree. They might also ask for your GPA. I would imagine that they would only require your actual transcript if you were applying for a job with very specific requirements in certain subjects. For example, if you applied for a job working with children in California, they might want to see your transcript to ensure that you passed Human Growth & Development.
It's certainly not the norm for employers to ask to see your transcript.
Hope that helps,
