I didn't meet the grades but my university/college has not yet declined my place. What should I do so that I can find another place?

Even if you didn't meet the conditions, the university/college may still be prepared to accept you for the original course/entry date or to offer you an alternative. You should speak to them to discuss your options. If they are not willing to offer you the same course or an alternative, they should decline your offer as soon as possible.
