Under the skills section, should I list the programming languages I'm only familiar with (taken a University course in) by themselves, label them (e.g., SQL (familiar)), or leave them out entirely?
Edit: I think my original question was a bit ambiguous. By "familiar", I mean not proficient in. How can I distinguish languages I'm merely familiar with from those that I'm proficient in. On my paper resume I add the proficiency in parentheses next to the language, but I haven't seen anyone else on LinkedIn do that.

Should I list programming languages I'm only familiar with on LinkedIn?
Ideally, yes.
Otherwise you will be giving false information about your skills, something that could (and will) come up if you eventually land an offer and get to the testing part.
It is not necessary to include only those that you "took a course" for... Include the ones you are familiar with and have experience coding (either by a course or self-taught).
How can I distinguish languages I'm merely familiar with from those that I'm proficient in.
As you say, on a Resume one would write the level of proficiency next to the language.
In LinkedIn, the equivalent to this would be evidenced by the Endorsements you get on your skills. In theory, you will get more Endorsements on the languages you are more proficient and less on the ones you are just familiar with.
This means that you will have to ask or receive endorsements from your contacts so viewers of your profile can judge which languages you know better than others.
