I would not do it but you can. you may lose a few credits so check with the transferring school first

Most grad schools only accept a few transfer credits. I’ve most often seen them accept a max. of 9 (that’s just three classes, more or less), and some accept less. Some accept none. So be aware of this – it may actually be a better investment for you to simply apply to the grad schools you really want, and go there from the start. If that means that you wait a year, then do so.
In addition, many grad schools don’t admit a lot of transfer students. Sometimes, depending on the school, you’d have an easier time being admitted as a non-transfer than as a transfer, as there are, proportionally, more seats available for non-transfers. But this depends on the school.

I transferred graduate schools after spending 2 years at one school. I wouldn’t recommend it. My new school only accepted 12 transfer credits (4 classes) out of the 10 courses I had taken (fortunately, they had no ‘required’ classes, so I didn’t have to re-take all the others – not always the case!). Also, I was 2 years behind in research, and thus it took me another 2 years to finish my masters (no one at the new school did what my advisors at the old school did – but that’s kinda why I moved anyway). However, as a result, it will have taken me 7 years to finish my PhD. So no, I wouldn’t recommend it.
