How do I ask a professor for a recommendation to Transfer college?

Out of curiosity...why did other professors deny your request? Usually you ask a professor that has built some rapport with you. It is also very helpful for you to be one of the top students in his or her class so that they see you take an interest, know the material, etc. Do you actively participate in courses or do you just show up? This is another thing professors often take note of.

EDIT:

I can understand your language professor not writing a recommendation. The largest issue you will is the fact that most of your professors may not actually notice you or your ability (since you don't take part in much). You didn't mention what year you are in or when you are planning on transferring out of community college. If you still have a semester or longer I would certainly start getting more involved in class. Lori is right about stopping by your professor's office hours to make small talk.

I would also question if you have any work experience or professional contacts? Some colleges will allow you to submit recommendation letters from individuals other than professors. It would be much easier if you can obtain one or two letters from professors and others from other contacts as opposed to needing 3 or more professor recommendations. If you are planning on leaving community college and don't have enough time left to get familiar with a professor you can do a few other things.

For example, find a professor that you did very well in (also one that you didn't already ask). Approach the professor and tell them you know that they may not remember you but that you had their class, got such and such grade, and really enjoy the field. Some professors may be inclined to give you a recommendation. I wouldn't expect a "strong" letter of recommendation but you should be able to find one. I would also look into getting one form the head of your department (even if you never had them as a professor). They have access to your records and most will provide you a generic letter.

The options I gave you above may not provide you with the best recommendation letters but that is still okay. In your type of a position (assuming you have solid grades, other abilities, etc) you just need letter of recommendations that fulfill the application/admission requirements and don't hurt you. They will probably be neutral letters but that is okay.

Finally, use this as a life lesson. Often times people will need to have contacts to get a job, apply to graduate school, etc. One you are in a college of your choice I would advise you to get more involved. If you don't branch out (even just a bit) you might end up hurting yourself if you want to get into grad school or a dream job. Good luck!

First of all, do really well in their class. Make sure that you come to class prepared, having done all of the assigned work, and participate in the discussion. If it's a large class that doesn't allow for discussion, like a 200 person lecture, then that professor isn't going to be a good candidate to ask for a letter no matter how well you did in the class.

Additionally, go to their office hours every now and then. You can follow up about discussions you were having in class, ask about other related topics that you're interested in, or ask questions about your future plans in the discipline (especially if you are planning to major in that field or go on to graduate school). Absolutely do NOT go to office hours just to ask what's going to be on the test.

Ideally, you would try to take more than 1 class with the same professor, repeating these behaviors, so that they have more time to get to know you, but that's not always possible.

Usually, professors will refuse write a letter either because they don't know you well enough (you were one person in a crowd of 200) or because they weren't particularly impressed with you in their class and they don't think they can write a positive letter for you.
