You will be prompted to fill in the basic information for a LinkedIn Learning profile.

You may also choose to link them, and still have the ability to unlink later, as well. You may choose not to link them, and still have the opportunity to do so later. For those without a (personal, non-Swarthmore) LinkedIn account, you may create a profile at this point. When you log in to LinkedIn Learning for the first time you will be given the opportunity to link your Learning account to your LinkedIn account (if you have one). If you have your accounts linked, you may be automatically taken to the second login screen (the LinkedIn account login) if this happens. You will need to complete this two-step login every time you log into LinkedIn Learning.ĭue to the fact that LinkedIn Learning allows you to log in using your Swarthmore credentials (using our SSO, or Single Sign-On, system), if you are logged into another Swarthmore service that uses this system and you go to you may automatically be passed through the Swarthmore login step - meaning you may not need to log in with your Swarthmore credentials. If you do choose to link your account, you will still need to log in with your Swarthmore credentials, but then you will be prompted to log in to your LinkedIn account using the email address and password you use to access your personal LinkedIn account. If you choose not to link your account you will simply go to and login with your usual Swarthmore credentials.

Whether you link your account or not, it will affect how you log in going forward.

There are reasons why you may want (or not want) to do this which are discussed in the next section. The first time you log into LinkedIn Learning, you will be asked if you want to link it to your personal LinkedIn account. LinkedIn Learning was originally called Logging In to LinkedIn Learning
