I input my university tuition but it doesn't give me any refunds. Why is this the case? Also, after putting in all my information it only claims for one tax item. Why?

What do you mean by "tax item"? Do mean tax credit?

 

The credits for tuition, education and textbook amounts are non-refundable tax credits. This means that they can only be used to reduce taxes owing, and can’t generate a refund.
