The Kegley Center for Student Success staff aims to foster a culture of academic success and personal development. We will inspire and encourage our student-athletes to become leaders in society by representing CSUB Athletics, CSU Bakersfield and the community with honor and integrity.

The Kegley Center for Student Success facility is the home for the Athletics Academic Support and Life Skills programs. This $1,000,000 remodeled 7,500 square foot facility was named after Dr. Jacquelyn Kegley, former Chair of the Academic Senate and current Professor of the Department of Philosophy. The Kegley Center provide student-athletes with a designated area where an individual can have access to the necessary resources to be successful in his or her academic endeavors. Such resources include computer labs, printing stations, tutoring, study space and nutrition bar. All Kegley Center staff members are housed in this building.

Academic Advising
Each student-athlete has a campus (major) academic advisor who has expertise in the areas of program planning, academic difficulty counseling, petitioning degree requirements, and major selection. Each team is also assigned an Athletics Academic Advisor whose role is to provide academic advice and direction for assigned student-athletes. The goal of the Athletics Academic Advising program is to help student-athletes develop their decision-making skills so that they can make appropriate academic choices and take responsibility for those choices. Through our academic counseling program, student-athletes will also learn to interpret academic requirements and develop suitable educational plans that meet their needs, are consistent with the goals of the institution and take advantage of the educational resources available to all students at CSUB. 

Athletics Academic Support
The Academic Support Program provides an appropriate atmosphere for studying and offers tutorial assistance for all student-athletes. The primary goal of the academic support program is to provide student-athletes with academic assistance beyond that which they receive in the classroom.

Student-Athlete Learning Outcomes
The CSU Bakersfield Athletics Department has established a set of "Learning Outcomes" it hopes all Roadrunner student-athletes will achieve during their time in Bakersfield.
