A bundle (program) sells several courses together, in a set order, with each course opening a set time after the student joins the bundle. This guide used to explain the bundle wizard. It now explains what changed, and how a bundle works when one of your courses is in it.
What changed in the teacher portal
- The Bundles row is no longer in the Teaching group of the menu.
- The New menu in the top bar no longer has New bundle.
- The bundle pages (the list, the New bundle page and a bundle's workspace with its tabs, Students included) no longer open for an instructor. A saved link or bookmark to one of them takes you to your Dashboard.
- The Emails page no longer has a Bundle option.
- If you want some of your courses sold together, ask NSDP administration.
The bundle's page and details
A bundle has its own title, descriptions, cover and public page. NSDP writes these. There is no bundle form for you to fill in any more.
The bundle's price
A bundle has its own price, separate from the price of each course in it. NSDP sets it. You cannot set or change a bundle's price.
The courses in a bundle
- A bundle is made of courses, each one only once.
- A published bundle contains only published courses, so a course of yours has to be approved and published before it can be sold in one.
- You keep working on your course as usual. Its lessons, students and comments stay in the course's own workspace.
Order and unlock timing
The courses in a bundle follow a set order. Each one opens a set time after the student joined the bundle (not the course); some open at once. Students can be emailed when the next course opens. NSDP sets the order and the timing.
Publishing a bundle
NSDP decides when a bundle is published. You do not publish a bundle and nothing is sent to you to review.
Bundle statuses
What each status means
- draftBeing set up. Students cannot see it.
- publishedIn the catalogue and open for enrolment.
- unlistedCan be bought by direct link or checkout but hidden from the catalogue.
Bundle students
- A bundle's Students page no longer opens in the teacher portal, and you cannot give a student free bundle access yourself.
- To have a student added to or removed from a bundle, ask NSDP administration.
Bundle certificates
A bundle gives either one certificate when every course in it is complete, or one certificate per completed course. NSDP chooses which, and sets the certificate's design. Certificates are issued only when they are switched on for the school.

WhySomething tried to create a bundle from an instructor account.
FixNothing is wrong with your account. Bundles are switched off for instructors; ask NSDP administration if you need one.
FAQ
Why can't I find Bundles in my menu?
Instructors can no longer create bundles, so the row and the New bundle action were removed. Nothing is wrong with your role.
My saved link to a bundle opens the Dashboard.
That is expected. The bundle pages no longer open for instructors.
What about a bundle I made earlier?
You can no longer open or edit it in the teacher portal. Ask NSDP administration about it.
Can I still sell my courses together?
Not by yourself. Ask NSDP administration; bundles are put together by NSDP.
What do I earn from a bundle?
See Teacher earnings and withdrawals for how your share of sales is worked out, and ask NSDP administration about a particular bundle.
Can I still create courses and live classes?
Yes. Use New recorded course or New live Zoom class in the New menu.
