What is the ruling on placing my personal photo in the university graduates' yearbook with the rest of the male and female students?
It is advised not to put your picture in the book, because looking at pictures of non-mahram women is considered unlawful by many contemporary scholars due to the potential for fitna (temptation). They have explicitly stated the unlawfulness of keeping pictures for remembrance. Piety dictates refraining from photography unless there is a necessity or a legitimate religious need, due to the scholarly disagreement regarding the permissibility of photographic images.
