Education Background Check about GPA

Sorry, but I lied about my GPA. I current have a nearly 3.0 GPA, but on my resume I write 3.2 which is the minimum for that company.

After they told me they decide to give me an offer, they need me to complete a employment form for background check. I am worried if they will know my GPA from my university. I have search some information online, and they said GPA is confidential. This is one thing I want to make sure. But in the form, it doesn’t ask anything about GPA, and the employer never ask about it.

You know this is final week, I can’t focus on studying because I’m worried about the form. HR said I can finish it within two weeks. If I finish it after May, my GPA can increase a little bit to 3.05. I know it’s still low. But is it better if I wait until the grade get updated?

So briefly, my questions are: 1. Is that true that background check company cannot get my GPA information? 2. Is that same if I submit the background check form now or after my GPA get higher than 3.00?

Thank you. And I promise I won’t do this thing again :'(
