I received the following error when importing the Sections into the courses.  I have looked at the guides and cross-checked my csv file with the sample and I cannot find the error in the file. Here is the error that I am receiving "no course_id", however I double checked and my course_id matches the SIS Course ID on the course. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Canvas Error:

 @tholinger    I've received this before when it didn't like the comma Excel put in my file or some extra gibberish at the end of a line. I suggest taking a look at the csv in a note editor that marks whitespace and line end markers and/or replacing the commas.
