Privacy information
Please carefully consider whether you wish to connect your personal LinkedIn account with your Mount Holyoke Learning account. LITS recommends that you review what data Mount Holyoke College will be able to see and retain from your personal account and consider whether you wish LinkedIn Learning to be able to recommend course options based on your personal profile details. Please see LinkedIn's overview on managing your account and privacy settings and their course: Explore privacy settings and account types.
What happens to my connected accounts when I leave the College? If you have connected your MHC Learning account to your LinkedIn profile, your learning history will be retained by LinkedIn; however because you are no longer at MHC, you will no longer be able to participate on the Learning side. If you gain access to LinkedIn Learning again in the future, you will be able to reconnect your profile and re-access your history.
