If you are on a student visa but not attending class can you be deported?

Yes you absolutely can be deported for not attending classes if you are in the US on an F-1 Visa. The school is generally supposed to give you a warning letter and then if you still continue to choose to do the wrong thing and keep not going to school, homeland security WILL start an investigation. If you are found to be out-of-status, homeland security can/will come to your place of residence and take you with them to further investigate you and the situation.

It really is muc easier and safer to simply comply and obey the laws here in the US. Going to classes maybe not always be exciting, but it is better than the long plane ride back home to your country. You will not be allowed to come back to the USA for a long time. School is an EASY way of allowing people to visit the US.
