If they graduated with the old school name, then that is the name that you would use on your resume and is the offical way that it is suppose to be listed. If a student graduated when the school has changed its name then the student would list the name of the new school on his/her resume.

It is recommended that the name on your diploma matches your official, legal name. However, you may request a preferred/chosen first and middle name to be printed in lieu of your legal name.

You take the legal document supporting the name change to the university and ask them to change your records.

A document given by an educational institution conferring a degree on a person or certifying that the person has satisfactorily completed a course of study.

If you are willing to go through it anyway, I suggest changing before you apply (if possible, please consider the loss of time/delays as a result) but it will be better, as you at least have one less hassle to hassle about! You should ask your university about the ease of changing your name in their records.

Students can use whatever name they want on their diploma. Some use their legal name, some omit their middle name, some just use middle initial, some want the name they prefer to be called. At my university, the official transcript is the official verification/record of the degree, not the diploma.
