Next Steps - IBM CbD Program

Hi all -

I recently accepted an offer from IBM's Full-Time Consulting by Degrees Program.

Does anyone know what next steps are (from now until summer) after my background check has cleared? Will IBM be accepting official transcripts and things of that nature later in the year?

If anyone is willing to provide insight on this that would be greatly appreciated!
