Yes unless it's really bad. You are supposed to generally write something like this:
*Indiana University
-BA in Psychology, expected May 2004
-Cumulative GPA: 4.0
People modify that as they see fit. Say you know you'll get rejected if they see your gpa, you may want to leave it out and then let them ask you about it at the interview. Or say your major gpa is higher, you may want to put that instead of your cumulative.
When it comes to jobs, lying is a bad thing. Never lie. However, there is an art to what information you provide. Don't be one of those retards who writes everything and anything and basically asks to get rejected beforehand.
Mine lists UChicago for the BA and Columbia and Tuck for some additional coursework that I want to bring to their attention usually, my SATs, cumulative, and major GPAs except one since that one doesn't look as great. It doesn't list that one gpa, how I slept through some finals and screwed up, how good/bad the sex with my ex was, etc.
