In every case the acceleration due to gravity is same.
It always acts in downward direction. The sign depends on the direction in which this force is acting.
Suppose a body is falling then the acceleration due to gravity will aid in the motion, so we use a positive sign for it, otherwise for  a body travelling upwards, we use a negative sign as it decellerates the motion
