Graduate transferring, am I doing it right?

I’m in a course-only graduate program (Master of Engineering) at UIUC and I’m having a hard time. I’m considering transferring to another school.
A year ago I got multiple admissions, so is it acceptable that I make them a phone call and express my interest in enrolling in their program again, or at least ask to waive recommendation letters? I feel awkward/embarrassed to ask my undergrad professors to write a recommendation letter again. With my poor performance and lack of interaction with grad school professors, I don’t think I should ask them for ref. letters.
