    In having worked for numerous employers for over 26 years in I.T. I’ve only once ever been asked for my transcript.

      Yes, transcripts are rare. No one really cares what your grades were as long as you get the degree. Checking that you got the degree you claimed you did is not rare. But you don’t have to do anything extra to prove that; it’ll show up in the background check that pretty much every employer runs.

        I’ve had lots of background checks run (most recently today in fact) and have never seen a college degree listed on one.
