Linking your personal LinkedIn account is optional, but there are some advantages and considerations:

You’ll have the choice to share completed courses and showcase newly gained knowledge on your personal LinkedIn page. You’ll also be able to access comments, questions, and answers that other LinkedIn users post within specific courses while you’re taking the course.
In addition to logging in with your PennKey, you’ll need to log in with your personal LinkedIn account each time you access a LinkedIn Learning course.
The University of Pennsylvania will not have access to any of your personal information, and nothing will be posted to your personal LinkedIn account without your permission. For more details, please see LinkedIn Learning’s Privacy Information .
If you decide not to link your personal LinkedIn account at this time, you can always go back and add it later. If you do link your account, you can unlink it at any time.
