It's not uncommon for employers to request GPA and/or transcripts. Source: I graduated 2 years ago.

I've never been asked for GPA or transcripts (been graduated since 2012). YMMV, depends on where you apply I guess.
I 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.
If 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.

I always get them without even asking (Europe). I never received a "diploma" however. Only transcripts of classes.
