When do we start applying for accommodation?

I just received my offer,i'm wondering when do we start applying for accommodation?
According to the Accommodation FAQ, applications open after 15th December. I don't know how up to date that information is though.

I also heard December 15th, but when I went to the accommodation website there wasn't anything to stop me signing up beforehand. I registered my information but now it thinks I'm a 2014 applicant :s-smilie:

In that case you've started the application process to move into halls two months ago...

You'll have to wait until December to apply for 2015 entry.

I thought that might be the case. Will it be a problem now that I've signed up? Or will it just correct itself after the 15th?

Oh thank god haha. Thank you!
Do we apply to accommodation for all the unis as we don't have to put in our firm and insurance until May. Or do we just do our two choices

I think you need to have accepted your offer before you can apply for accommodation.

EDIT: Nevermind, sorry for the false info. :erm:

It depends on each individual uni - Manchester will let you apply once you have an offer (you need not have firmed / insured it). Other unis won't let insurance applicants apply at all, or they make you wait until you've made a decision... check their websites.
