UCAS Points for foundation year+degree at Uni along with C&G course

I have completed my UCAS application for my uni choices and have received conditional offers for all Uni’s. I want to go to Coventry University to study Computer Science with a foundation year with 56 UCAS points required.

Firstly, I done a C&G level 3 course which was Diploma for IT Users (ITQ)and I got a pass which is 24 ucas points right!?

Are C&G courses considered by Uni’s even at level 3?

I am currently doing a foundation national diploma in IT at level 3 and I am currently working at a pass standard. If I was to get a pass in this course, I would have 48 ucas point in total.

Will I be rejected for sure if I am only 8 ucas point below from the required grade?
