Need Advice

I need some advice as to how to go about asking for letters of recommendation. I am a senior at a 4-year university majoring in Sociology. Next year I will be attending a community college for a year to finish up my nursing pre-reqs and then applying for a masters entry program in California. My dilemma is that most of the masters entry programs ask for letters of recommendations to be submitted digitally. Because I will be asking my current professors for a recommendation, I do not want to wait until next year to ask them to fill out the form because I want to be fresh in their minds. Did anyone else come across this issue? How do I ask for letters of recommendation now to use in a year or so from now? Thank you so much!!

    Perhaps make an appointment with the professors you plan to ask letters of recommendation from. This way they know what to expect in a year or so. I would explain to them your educational plans. When you do apply, give them information about your current status, your CV/resume and any other information you want them to include in the letter. Also, give them at least a month to write the letter.

    I don't think a one year absence will be bad. I was out of undergrad for 2 years or so when I asked my old advisor for letters for graduate school.
