With little context to work with, if you are asking what a senior in college is called after receiving a diploma, he/she would be called a "graduate".

last-year student
I'm not sure which language you need it translated into, but in the US, a senior is in his/her last year of study (usually the fourth year. It goes Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior). This applies to both high school (secondary school) and university.

I'm also not sure what you mean about the diploma; a senior is still a student who has not received his/her diploma yet.

: Once the diploma is implemented, he/she is a graduate. Perhaps we need more context!

Julie:
We need to know more “context”. Personally, I will not translate “Senior”, but if you need a translation, I suggest “veteran student” or “veteran”.
Why I say “veteran student” or “veteran”? Definitively, a senior student is a veteran student. In other words, he/she is a student with long experience or time in the University. He/she is not necessary a “last-year student”. In the universities organized by years of studies, maybe they call “senior” to a “last-year student”.
From y point of view: “graduate” is a student who ended his/her studies and received a graduation.
Thank you,

: "Veteran" sounds like they've served in the army in wartime.

If you read the explanation of "veteran" in Merriam-Webster and other English dictionaries you will 2 or more meanings. In the University where I was professor we used the name: "veteran". The word "veteran" is not only for former members of the army.
