You could use the READ_IMAGE_FILE built-in. I suppose you have a routine to determine which image belongs to which user. This approach has a huge drawback though: it won't be easily ported to other pc's or deployed for more users.

A more secure way is to store the pictures in the student table on the database. That way, you are sure that anyone that needs to, has access to the images.
