What uni course and did you take Maths A-level? What level did you need? If you exceeded grades look at adjustment or clearing? Call the university and ask them to reconsider

If your offer was dependant on a GCSE resit you wont have received your GCSE grade yet.

Unis are generally much stricter with GCSE requirements than A level ones. Did you get an offer requiring GCSE maths at a higher grade originally? Did you resit GCSE maths this year?

Not meeting a GCSE Maths requirement is the most common reason for rejection. Usually you wont get an offer if you dont meet it. This usually applies to subjects like Psychology, economics, business, computer science and engineering. There is no leeway irrespective of A level grades.
