3. Click the Browse button and select your uploaded file.
4. Change the Separator from the default of Comma to Tab.
   IMPORTANT: WebCT cannot process names that contain a comma when the separator is a comma because the standard quote protocol is not supported. Therefore, MicroGrade exports WebCT data with a Tab separator so that names such as “John Smith, III” can be successful uploaded to WebCT.
