A. As used in this section, &#8220;veteran&#8221; has the same meaning as
provided in &#xA7; 23.1-500.

B. Each public institution of higher education shall provide a refund of the
tuition and mandatory fees paid by any veteran student for any course from which
such veteran student is forced to withdraw, for the first time, due to a
service-connected medical condition during a semester, as certified in writing
to the institution by a physician licensed to practice medicine pursuant to
Chapter 29 (&#xA7; 54.1-2900 et seq.) of Title 54.1 who treated the veteran

three-quarters of a course shall be determined by the institution.

C. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect any such student&#8217;s
ability to reenroll at the institution.
