How to log on at GRC: LinkedIn Learning (prev. Lynda.com)

This guide explains how to access your student email, Canvas classes, Microsoft Office, campus computers, and online tools for your education.

Green River LinkedIn Learning

Green River students, Faculty, and Staff have access to LinkedIn Learning with Lynda.com content, including video tutorials on a variety of subjects from basic computer skills to 3D animation to web development.

Use the instructions on this page to learn how to set up your Green River profile if you are new user, or how to log in or change your password if you have an existing Green River LinkedIn Learning account.

Important: You are required to be a currently registered GRC student, staff, or faculty member to access the college's LinkedIn Learning subscription. If you are not a current GRC student, faculty, or staff member but live within King County, you can sign up for access through King County Library System.

How to sign up for or log in to LinkedIn Learning

GRC LinkedIn Learning - FAQs

Q: Can I log on to my GRC LinkedIn Learning (LiL) account on the LiL website?

A: Yes, with some extra steps:

  1. On the LinkedIn Learning homepage, select "Sign In":

  1. On the sign-in page, enter your Green River student email address ending in @student.greenriver.edu and click continue:

Sign in to LinkedIn Learning with student email address
 

  1. Select "Continue to Green River College." You will be redirected to the Green River sign in portal, where you can log in as normal with your student email address and email password.

LinkedIn Learning login, continue to GRC
 

Q. Why isn't my login working?

A. In order to log in to GRC's LinkedIn Learning subscription, you will need to be a GRC student currently enrolled in credit classes, faculty, or staff member. The list of current Green River students is updated between quarters. For example, if you were a student in Winter Quarter but did not sign up for classes in Spring Quarter, your login may stop working over Spring Break.

  • Not sure if you are enrolled in classes? - Check your class schedule on the student portal: My Green River:

If you are a current GRC student and your login is not working, have you set your password for your student email account ending in @student.greenriver.edu?

If you are not a current Green River student, faculty, or staff member but would like access to LinkedIn Learning, you may be able to sign in through the King County Library System or your local public library.

Other login troubleshooting tips to keep in mind:

Our Green River log-in portal doesn't work well with the Kent/Auburn School District Chromebooks (because of security restrictions on the Chromebooks).

  • We suggest: trying a different computer if possible (or even a smartphone). Or if using another device is not possible - contact the Running Start office for assistance contacting ASD/KSD IT help with your Chromebook.
  • if you can, please make sure your browser is up-to-date and clear out browsing history and cookies. That will hopefully clear out any old "memory" of an automatic connection that is causing a redirect issue.
    • On Chrome, that looks like this:
      • Update Google Chrome
      • Clear cache and cookies

Still having trouble? 

  • Contact us at the library (librarian@greenriver.edu) - sending screenshots of any error messages or login errors you see will help, too.

Q. A link in the library catalog to a LinkedIn video did not work. How can I find the video again?

A. If a link in the library's OneSearch does not connect directly to the video's page, try searching for the video title once you log in. 

Links may not work perfectly while we update our records from the older "Lynda.com" content to the new LinkedIn Learning in our Holman Library OneSearch catalog-- we apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have it working again soon.

Q. I see a security warning when I try to sign on. How can I access the Green River portal?

A. Some browsers may show an error message warning that "the web domain 'sts.student.greenriver.edu' may be unsafe" or "not private." 

If you see this message, you can still access the sign on page by clicking on (1) "Show Advanced" and then (2) "Proceed to 'sts.student.greenriver.edu' anyway..."
