How can I get letters of recommendation for my transfer application after a short period of time?

This may sound odd, but why are you transferring after a short time? You should remain in one college for at least a year before considering transfer. This shows the receiving college that you gave it your best shot, that you tried to be involved in campus activities, and that you were able to excel academically in the environment.  If you need to transfer due to financial or family concerns, then your advisor should be able to write a letter of recommendation for you.
