LinkedIn Learning FAQs

LinkedIn Learning is available at no cost to all active faculty, staff and students at North Carolina Central University. 

1. Access the NCCU LinkedIn Learning page or the application on your mobile device. 
2. When prompted, enter your NCCU credentials.
3. Select "Sign In."
4. Complete the Duo authentication.

You do not need a LinkedIn profile to use LinkedIn Learning. You get access to LinkedIn Learning through your NCCU user ID. You may choose to link to your LinkedIn profile, but it is not required. 

Connecting to your profile will allow for a more personalized learning experience that includes special course recommendations based on your job title, skills and industry listed on your LinkedIn profile. It will also allow you to migrate your content to a new account. For example, upon graduation, or if you leave the university and are employed by a company that uses LinkedIn Learning, your data from your NCCU LinkedIn Learning account will be migrated to your new LinkedIn Learning account with a connected profile.  

Learning activities such as courses viewed or completed, profile information like your name, work title and profile photo and any courses from your personal account that you’ve transferred to your group account will be shared. We will not have access to your connections, private messages, any job search activity such as job posts you’ve viewed or any learning courses you’ve viewed in your personal account. 

It is optional if you would like to create a LinkedIn account. Creating a LinkedIn profile provides you with a more personalized learning experience, because it recommends courses based on what other professionals like you are watching. LinkedIn members also have the ability to control what others can view from their profile, via the Settings & Privacy page. 

Typically, dozens of courses are added each week.
