The online University I want to attend is on probation by SACS, should I look somewhere else? If I complete my degree with them, and then they lose thier status - will that affect the validity of my degree?

Good grief, run!
Do NOT take courses from any university, online or not, whose accreditation is in jeopardy.
The ONLY online degrees that are valued in academia in the US are those offered through REGIONALLY accredited schools.
The other bonuses? These distance education courses are much less expensive than those offered by those fly-by-night diploma mills, and the course credits are TRANSFERABLE.
In other words, pursue your degree online through a state university. These regionally accredited institutions offer universally accepted degree programs.
I've placed some superb links below to help you.
Best wishes to you in your search for a quality education!

If the course is not accredited they will normally advertise it as "subject to validation" Most institutions do not accept students on these courses until it is accredited.
