Transfer programs and don't mention old one

If I were to start a masters/Phd program and only take a class or two then decided I want to try to apply for a different program could I simply leave off the fact that I attended the first program? The only downside I currently see is losing credits for those initial classes. I ask because every time I hear/read about transferring it seems like a bad idea unless the student has what is deemed an "acceptable" reason.

If they find out you left it out it could be grounds for rescinding your admissions offer. If I were in their shoes I would, because having a student leave after a semester is a headache. If someone does it once they could do it again.
