The MSU Library’s LinkedIn Learning subscription ended on June 30, 2025. The library made the decision to not renew it based on the unsustainable increase in cost to subscribe and the low and declining usage.
LinkedIn bases their pricing structure on enrollment numbers; due to the overall increase in MSU enrollment, we are now in a higher priced tier with LinkedIn. However, the amount of use we’ve tracked doesn’t come close to the number of seats in that tier (17k) - we currently see ~885 “active learners.” An active learner can be one that watches as little as five minutes of content.
Access to course content, as well as your learning history, will not be available after June 30, 2025.
To download learning history: Go to the “my learning” tab of your account and then click “learning history.” Beside each course there is a “more” button drop down where you can download your certificates or add to your LinkedIn profile (if connected).
Is your LinkedIn Learning account connected to your LinkedIn profile? In the future if you are to regain access to LinkedIn Learning, your learning history will remain tied to you and can be transferred to your future account. Your learning history will not be available for viewing until you receive access to a new LinkedIn Learning account.
If your LinkedIn Learning account is NOT connected to your LinkedIn profile: In the future if you are to regain access to LinkedIn Learning, you’ll be starting new without your current learning history. To save your history, connect your LinkedIn Learning account to your LinkedIn profile before June 30, 2025.
