Starting a new job on Wednesday with planned vacation two months from now

Unclear how to bring this up to my employer, but I have a two week vacation planned for the second and third week of May. It didn’t come up during the interview process, but I’m wondering if I should have brought it up forcefully. I was just nervous to not be offered the job since I’ve been unemployed since the end of January and it was an interview with 3 members of staff. I don’t expect paid time off, but I can’t reschedule the trip. I’ve only worked jobs in the past with a moderately flexible policy with time off (I just graduated last spring with my degree.) The only thing I know about this job this far regarding time off is that I accrue vacation time after 90 days employment and I accrue 2hrs a week. Are employers generally accommodating in this regard?
