Newcastle University accommodation 2024/25

I’ve received an offer to study at Newcastle university starting September 2024. I have yet to confirm this as my first choice but it’s highly unlikely this will not be Newcastle. I’m struggling to make an application for accommodation. Do I have to confirm with them before I can apply to accommodation? Or is it that their September 2024 accommodation isn’t available to apply for yet? I just don’t want to leave it too long before I apply for accommodation if it’s available. ( I haven’t received my last offer yet but I know that I have places at my first choice and backup at this point)
