The conditions people miss until August

Grades are the condition everybody reads. The ones that catch people are quieter: a minimum in one specific subject rather than an overall total, a per-section minimum on a language test, an original document where you assumed a scan would do, a vaccination or health record required for enrolment, or a deadline for producing all of it that falls weeks before term starts.

Make one list with a date beside every item and the name of whoever issues it, because most of these depend on somebody else — an exam board, a school office, a clinic. What goes wrong is almost never the condition itself. It is that the item took three weeks to obtain and nobody started until the week it was due.
