I would keep it on your resume. If you leave it off (assuming that you are still in school) most employers will think that it is below 3.0.

Well in that case it depends
Well in that case it depends how recent.
There are no steadfast rules, but usually once you are 2 years out you can keep it off. If you haven't had a full time position after graduation, or if you aren't in grad school, I would still keep it on.
Maybe someone else has a different opinion, this is just based on what I have heard.
