Baruch Students Now Have Free Access to LinkedIn Learning!

Dear Baruch Student:

Baruch College has licensed LinkedIn Learning for all currently enrolled students.

LinkedIn Learning is an online educational platform that includes more than 16,000 expert-led courses across many subject areas with a focus on business, technology, and creative skills. Users are able to receive personalized recommendations for courses or discover, complete, and track courses related to their own interests.

LinkedIn Learning content includes the courses formerly offered via Lynda.com. In addition, the College has incorporated thousands of courses, videos, and books from its subscription to O’Reilly, an online learning platform in the field of information technology.

LinkedIn Learning Highlights

• Earn Certification Credentials: Some courses will lead to certification credentials. If you choose to link your LinkedIn Learning account to your LinkedIn profile, you can download course completion certificates to your profile. Please note: Once you link the two, after you log in with your CUNY Login username and password, you may also have to log in with your LinkedIn credentials, if you had previously logged out of that system.
• Get Course Recommendations Based on Your Interests: By default, LinkedIn Learning will send you recommendations for courses, but you can manage those communications in your user profile.

Claim Your Account

In a few days, you will receive an email message from “Baruch College via LinkedIn Learning <[log in to unmask]>” with the subject line “Activate your LinkedIn Learning account.” This is legitimate.

If you have any problems with activating the account or have any questions, please contact the College’s IT Help Desk at [log in to unmask] with the subject line “LinkedIn Learning.”

I encourage you to take advantage of this new resource.

Sincerely,

Arthur Downing, PhD

Vice President for Information Services and Dean of the Library
