# FAQ: Multiple Sessions for Students and Teachers

> Answers to common questions about students being in multiple sessions at once and teachers running concurrent class sessions.

## Can a Student Be in Multiple Sessions at Once?

Yes. Students can be in multiple GoGuardian Teacher sessions at the same time.

This can happen when a student needs to be reviewed by more than 1 person — such as an individual aide covering the entire day — or when 2 or more teachers' class sessions overlap.

Even when a student is in multiple sessions simultaneously, only **1 Scene** can be applied to that student at any given time. When a student is in concurrent sessions, GoGuardian Teacher Scenes can conflict and display a "You're popular" message to the student.

Teachers can resolve Scene conflicts by clicking **Refresh Scene**, or by manually reapplying their Scene to refresh it for the class.

<Note>
  For more detail on how Scene conflicts work and how to resolve them, see [Scene Conflicts](/products/teacher/scene-conflicts).
