First: Out of Status and Sevis termination are NOT deportation proceedings. Second: Deportation proceedings occur when you are served with NTA (Notice to Appear) No one has mentioned about NTA here, and I am sure school lacks jurisdiction to issue NTA. The students there are out of status (or not even that). Only the letter can tell that. The options are: Take transfer to different university If not, file request to reinstatement with DHS, and claim that Intl. Advisor erroneously terminated you from school without having any proof. A school cannot terminate SEVIS verbally for unjust cause. Or, email me.
