FAQ

Sundance Collab’s course bundles provide a built-in discount for those wishing to take multiple courses in sequence in a discipline. They offer the advantage of savings, while still providing the lectures and guidance found in these courses individually.

We do not allow creative partners to do our course bundles as a team. However, both creators can individually purchase the bundle. 


Due to the built-in savings, we do not offer scholarships for bundles. If you’re in need of financial support, we often offer a limited number of need-based scholarships to individual courses. Check the course description to see if that individual course currently has scholarships available. 

Yes, we offer three-part payment plans for course bundles. In all cases, the first payment is due at the point of purchase. The remaining payment(s) are spread out throughout the term of the first course, and can be viewed by clicking the “Payment plan available. View details” link below the price on the bundle page. 

Participants will have access to the individual course recordings for one year following the last class session for each individual course. Your access to the first course ends a year from the date of that course’s last scheduled session, and so on.

All participants will receive a Certificate of Completion for each course completed in the bundle. The certificate will include the name associated with your Collab account, which can be edited by clicking “Profile” under your avatar, and then “Edit Profile”.

You can find any bundles you have already completed under your profile, under “Bundles.”

Sundance Collab provides accommodations and support services to participants with disabilities. Please contact us at (435) 776-7790 or email us at accessibility@sundance.org to ask any questions or to discuss your specific needs after you have been accepted into the bundle.
