SCGEO2101 REGOLITH SCIENCE
The regolith is the blanket of largely unconsolidated Earth materials at the Earth's surface that overlies fresh rock. It is where most of the planet's terrestrial bioproductivity takes place, contains important mineral resources such as aluminium, heavy minerals and industrial minerals, and holds clues to the location of buried ore deposits. The course addresses the description and classification of the regolith, the processes that form and modify it, and some techniques that used to characterise it.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
