On August 13 2019, Syracuse University is upgrading your Lynda.com account to LinkedIn Learning to help you explore thousands of business, tech, and creative courses to get the skills you need.
All eligible Lynda.com users will receive an email to their NetID@syr.edu email account providing them a link to activate their LinkedIn Learning account. This will also prompt the user to link it to their LinkedIn account, which they can create using their NetID@syr.edu email account.
Users who had progress or completion of courses at lynda.syr.edu will be able to transfer their efforts in their new LinkedIn Learning account. The option to transfer previous progress will be available until March 2020.
Some LinkedIn Learning features will seem familiar. We’ve kept the most quintessential aspects of Lynda.com. Others are new and exclusive to LinkedIn Learning.
LinkedIn purchased lynda.com in 2015, and in 2016 Microsoft acquired LinkedIn and decided to rebrand it as LinkedIn Learning. The university has been working with the LinkedIn Learning team over the last several months to help ensure a smooth transfer from lynda.com.

Progress on LinkedIn Learning will be preserver, however, users will no longer have access to the Universities iteration of LinkedIn Learning. The user would need to contact LinkedIn Learning directly to discuss having their progress transferred to a personal, non-university account. Additionally, users who synced their progress to their LinkedIn profile should not be distributed. Similarly, users will need to contact LinkedIn Learning directly if they have issues with LinkedIn syncs following leaving the university.
