Yes, it can.

You could do this if you want and it might be easier. I woukld suggest using
the phrase "Support on study activities off campus (includes travelling costs)"
If there is additional time involved in travelling for the helper in addition
to support or in addition totheir normal travel between home and university
that should be paid / charged too.
