I was offered a job at a national accounting firm while I was still in school this past year. The job starts October 5th. Within the offer letter, there were contingencies that I maintain a certain overall GPA and a certain GPA in accounting courses. When I was given the offer I easily surpassed the overall GPA requirement, but did not have the accounting GPA, as I was just below it. When I graduated, I still met the overall GPA requirement, but also still did not meet the accounting GPA requirement. I thought nothing of it, until I recently received an email requesting several pieces of information, including my official university transcript. My transcript does not have my accounting GPA on it, but lists the grades I have gotten in each course.

Have you ever heard someone lose their job offer because they didn’t meet the minimum GPA requirement? Will they see that I did not meet the accounting GPA requirement and rescind my job offer? Or will it (hopefully) not matter?

If you are curious why I am doing accounting with a low accounting GPA, it is because I was incredibly lazy early on in my college career and did not receive good grades in general. Later in my career I pulled my grades up to about a 3.2, but was unable to pull my accounting GPA up to that point.

EDIT: Apparently, I do not have the GPA for the University required accounting courses (ACCT I, ACCT II, Intermediate ACCT), but if you factor in non-required accounting courses (Governmental Accounting), I do meet the GPA requirement. Do I have anything to be worried about?
