Say you have 3 layers: UI, Business, Data.

Is that a sign of poor design if Business layer needs to access Sessions? Something about it doesn't feel right. Are there any guidelines to follow specifically tailored to web app?

I use c# 2.0 .net

No. If you had a "Controller" layer, you should access it there. Get what you need from the Session and hand it off to your business layer.
