If you are showing possession, then you use an apostrophe and an s at the end of the name...unless the name ends with an s. In that case, you only add the apostrophe.

"Students' is used with an apostrophe at the end when it denotes possession by multiple students. For example, 'The students' desks were arranged in rows'."

This is a plural possessive. If you are only talking about one person then the apostrophe is after the name followed by an 's'. For example: Mike's book.
