Plan Notices & Fee Disclosures

​​​​​​​​​​As plan changes or fund changes are introduced, and on an annual basis, the Office of Human Resources (HR) provides all employees with the required notices regarding any changes, fees and expenses in the DePaul University 403(b) retirement plan. These notices are intended to enable participants to better understand their benefits under the plan and inform them of current investment costs.


Fund Changes

  • Effective January 31, 2020, DePaul University has elected to make a number of investment option changes as outlined in this notice: January 2020 Fund changes.  

  • Important Note: Effective January 30, 2020, four of the CREF variable annuity account options at TIAA will be frozen to new contributions. Current balances may remain in those investment options, but no new contributions or transfers-in may be made after January 30th. No action is necessary to effect these fund changes, but you should read the notice carefully and evaluate your retirement savings goals and investment allocations to understand how these changes impact you.
