今週は大学のオリエンテーション。要は、これから一年受ける講義を選ぶための説明、及び体験期間である。自分の興味のある科目や必修科目を、進級・卒業に必要な単位の分、バランスよく選ばなければならない。
What is the function of the bold 分? Is it like 一年間の休職の分だけ、仕事がたまっていた。?

@naruto Hi. I don’t quite think it answered my question. I know that usage. If it were 単位分, I would have considered it was the same usage as the example in the link. – chino alpha Aug 04 '21 at 13:24

2It's the same. That の after 単位 can be dropped, and you can add の and say 第3巻予定の分. 追加分 is the same as 追加の分 or 追加した分/追加する分, and so on. – naruto Aug 04 '21 at 13:25

As commented, they mean the same ある範囲の分量。区別されたもの。.
A way to understand such 分 is to think about the amount of what is being talked about.
For the sentences in the question:
- 必要な単位の分の科目や必修科目
- 休職の分の仕事
A possible process to understand the sentece as follows:
The main clause is
- 自分の興味のある科目や必修科目を、バランスよく選ばなければならない。You have to choose (compulsory) courses interesting to you in a well balanced way.
The part ending in 分 describes how much those 科目や必修科目 should be:
- 進級や卒業に必要な単位の分 : the amount of courses you take is such that you can get credits required for successfully proceeding to next year/graduation
The second sentence can be understood in the same way:
- 仕事が溜まっていた : Tasks had been accumulating
- 一年間の休職の分 : the amount of those tasks is such that it represents a year's leave
I guess a difficulty lies in that you have to change the structure of the sentence a lot in order to get a decent translation (which I didn't do above).

I am wondering if there is no single English word for 進級.
