InfoGuides: Accessing LinkedIn Learning at RIT: Start

Last Updated: May 23, 2023 4:09 PM

Start using LinkedIn Learning and learn!

As an RIT student or employee, you are able to use LinkedIn Learning, a diverse e-learning system and leading provider of online training content, at no cost to you. However, you will have to log in using your RIT username and password to authenticate to RIT's subscription. This guide provides instructions for RIT users on how to properly access LinkedIn Learning.

Note for Lynda users: In July 2019, all learning content formerly found on Lynda.com migrated to LinkedIn Learning. With LinkedIn Learning, the same content from Lynda is delivered through an intuitive new learning experience. If you are looking for Lynda content, follow the instructions on this guide to access LinkedIn Learning instead.

Access is restricted to CURRENT RIT students, staff, and faculty.

Using a LinkedIn account?

Current students and employees of RIT are NOT required to have a LinkedIn profile to use RIT's institutional subscription to LinkedIn Learning.

If you do have a LinkedIn profile, you can connect your LinkedIn Learning courses completed through RIT to your personal LinkedIn profile.

Once you have FIRST logged in through RIT's organizational subscription and THEN connected your personal LinkedIn profile, it is possible to access RIT LinkedIn Learning directly from LinkedIn:

Sign in to LinkedIn with your personal LinkedIn profile credentials
Click on Learning in the upper right hand corner
You will be routed to RIT's single sign-on portal to log in with your RIT credentials

See links below for further information on using your organizational subscription with your personal LinkedIn account
