Background & Drug Test

Wondering if anyone received the background check/drug test after FT training started. (for regular M&A IB) I start in a few days, have received my signing bonus, sent in payroll and W-4 forms, etc. But somehow they never sent me any release for background or drug check.

I sent HR an email inquiring about it, but they ignored it. I just don't want to pester them again for fear of it looking extra sus.
