The presiding officer may continue the hearing on the motion of the presiding officer, any party or the department on such terms as the presiding officer may require. A hearing may be continued three times prior to the commencement of a hearing. The presiding officer may grant any additional requests for a continuance for settlement purposes or in the event that the denial of a continuance request would substantially prejudice a party's or the department's case.
