Why am I receiving these transfer of ownership email notifications?

When a student's rubric assessment is graded, the teacher becomes the owner of the document. This occurs so that the student is no longer able to edit the document in their own Google Drive account.

Is there any scenario in which I will not receive transfer of ownership emails when using the make a copy for each student option in a rubric?

If "Allow Multiple Attempts" is selected in the assessment settings, students will not lose editing rights. In this scenario, emails will not be sent, because ownership is never transferred. Learn more about student and teacher editing rights here.
